Oakland Unified School District officials say they have to close at least 10 schools by the fall of 2012 because of budget problems. Parents and students from the threatened schools are fighting to keep them open. We discuss the proposal the district will vote on at the end of October.

Guests:

Jill Tucker, education writer for The San Francisco Chronicle

Joel Velasquez, parent of two children who've gone to Lakeview Elementary

Jody London, president of the Governing Board of the Oakland Unified School District
