Frick Academy's students are about 41% African American and 53% Latinx, while Oakland SOL has a 71% Latinx student body. Some parents have expressed concern about how merging the two schools will tip the balance toward a much heavier Latinx student ratio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Sankofa parent concerned about gentrification in a historically black neighborhood said, \"I know what I felt like when I went outside and my whole neighborhood changed.

In merging Alliance Academy and Elmhurst Community Prep\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>district officials admitted that they did not provide enough support for the budgeting or planning process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district also failed to relocate all 266 seventh graders displaced by the closure of Roots International Academy into better schools, which had been the intention. In fact, 46 Roots students are now at Oakland SOL and Frick, potentially facing upheaval once again in the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renteria said that to support the current phase of closures, a philanthropic foundation donated $200,000 over the coming two years to help fund the work of reconfiguring smaller schools into larger ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first phase of closures, Oakland-based nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.educate78.org/who-we-are/\">Educate78\u003c/a> paid for a consultant to help Alliance and Elmhurst middle schools combine into Elmhurst United this past school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The push to dismantle the district's smaller schools is an ironic twist in the history of school reform efforts in Oakland. In 2000 the Gates Foundation spent millions to help launch the small schools movement across the country, with an initial focus on the Bay Area. The first 10 of those smaller schools opened in Oakland, beginning with a difficult process of breaking apart older, larger schools and their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district is scheduled to make a decision Sept. 11 on the current round of closures and mergers, which is part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/blueprintforquality\">OUSD's Citywide Blueprint for Quality Schools.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11770902/oakland-parents-plead-with-district-for-more-time-to-plan-school-mergers","authors":["231"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_19542","news_24898","news_18","news_4281","news_3202","news_1826","news_3366","news_24880"],"featImg":"news_11770914","label":"news"},"news_11730554":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11730554","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11730554","score":null,"sort":[1551757953000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"one-day-after-teachers-strike-ends-oakland-school-board-approves-nearly-22-million-in-cuts","title":"A Day After Teachers Strike Ends, Oakland School Board Approves Nearly $22 Million in Cuts","publishDate":1551757953,"format":"audio","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Less than 24 hours after Oakland teachers voted for a new contract and ended a seven-day strike, the Oakland School Board narrowly approved nearly $22 million in cuts to next year's budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing hours of impassioned pleas from students and other community members to preserve funding, the school board voted 4-3 in favor of the measure.
