Alexandra's Framework

Leadership Priorities

A framework for equitable, transparent, and effective Oakland Schools

01

Measuring Student Outcomes

Every decision should move Oakland students forward. Board decisions must be assessed on whether they improve well-being, opportunity, and outcomes for all Oakland students.

02

Strategic & Transparent Use of Resources

Every dollar should directly support students and schools. Clear fiscal consideration and measurable impact in every board decision.

03

Safe & Supportive Schools

Students learn best when they feel safe, seen, and supported, through neighborhood partnerships, parental involvement, and consistent behavioral standards.

04

Community-Driven Leadership

Families, educators, and students always have a seat at the table. Strategic goals must reflect the community's vision.

05

Board Capacity & Training

Adult behavior must change for student outcomes to improve. Leadership grounded in training, clear governance roles, and accountability.
