But I don’t always hear the willingness to make the decisions to be made. We have schools that are highly sought-after schools. Well, in order to achieve integration that means we limit the number of slots that some families have, which reduces access in that school, opens up access to other families, and then we make other schools available to students who otherwise wanted to go to a high-demand schools. In order to make that happen, it requires some sacrifice. Have I noticed a strong desire to make that type of sacrifice? No, I have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we’re not asking families to give up anything. We’re saying we want to be thoughtful and help people understand the strength in other schools, help them understand the power of having families who have both social capital, political capital, attend those schools and how it benefits all children to be in schools with students of diverse backgrounds, experiences and interests. That takes more time. So when I hear these issues discussed in a vacuum -- oh, you should just integrate -- well that just opens up a powder keg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It would help if kids could get to different schools with free transportation.

To talk about aspirations around integration, desegregation, and not talk about school funding to me is divorcing ourselves from reality a bit because we do have to talk about school funding, we do have to talk about the history of finances here and even in the city, and then also the disparities. We in Oakland are working on transportation solutions. I’ve been working on it for the last couple years. We are going to continue working on these issues. We’re working on a comprehensive effort to address transportation, but we can’t talk about that unless we talk about feeder patterns. Because if we’re just transporting kids the way we’re currently constructed, then you don’t have a thoughtful way of kids moving from elementary to middle to high, which helps reduce transportation costs, which makes using transportation as a potential solution for integration a part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does Oakland's enrollment policy reinforce segregated schools?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t think neighborhood policy in and of itself is an insurmountable obstacle. I think it does require an expansion of what we consider “neighborhood.” People think of neighborhood as the school down the street. Oakland isn’t really that large geographically, certainly in terms of importance, but geographically not that large. The school down the street, you walk several more blocks, and there’s another school. Many times you have individuals saying they want to go to the school right down the street. Well, in order achieve integration we need to expand what we consider neighborhoods, and say you are guaranteed a slot in one of these schools. Part of the formula involves making sure you have opportunities for students from different Zip codes to have access to schools as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, it requires strategic placement of programs, some exciting programs that might attract people in, and placing those into some neighborhoods that some families aren’t used to seeing programs placed in. And saying we absolutely believe in these programs and students having access, but what we want to do is to have you travel, which really isn’t that far, to this school to receive it. And have those available throughout to two-thirds of our district. It just so happens that some of those programs will be below 580, and it will require that type of reverse choice, as opposed to students to choosing to go up the hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you’re going to achieve integration, you have to be intentional about it. What is the district doing to get there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The No. 1 thing we want is to have a conversation around school quality and access to quality schools, and then create some structure so that we have good options so that families don’t feel like they’re forced to settle when making decisions for their children. That’s the first step. We can say all day long that you have to go to X school or Y school, but given the fact that we have many families who have means to make other decisions other than the places that they’re slotted into by the district, we want to make sure that families know that the options we're making available to them, although they may not know about them, are places where their children have a good shot at getting a great education. So that’s the first step for us, and there are several more steps after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The White House is offering grants to districts that want to integrate their schools more socioeconomically. Is Oakland Unified going after those grants?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to be in a position to have a great shot at getting the grant, we want to show that we have great strategy, that we have a great deal of community will, political will and being willing to work with the various partners we’re going to need to work with in order to move the work. So yes, in short, we are interested in pursuing grants, but not just with the government, but also with some local organizations, some national philanthropic organizations that are helping us on issues of school design, on how to make choice and equity. Not just ideas but real things that can be achieved here in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>To hear OUSD Superintendent Wilson answer questions on KQED's Forum from Oaklanders about what it will take to desegregate more Oakland schools \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2016/09/07/oakland-public-schools-largely-segregated-by-race-class/\" target=\"_blank\">listen here.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Oakland Unified School District chief Antwan Wilson responds to KQED's series on the city's segregated schools.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1473526121,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":19,"wordCount":1102},"headData":{"title":"Oakland Schools Chief: Integration More Complicated Than You Think | KQED","description":"Oakland Unified School District chief Antwan Wilson responds to KQED's series on the city's segregated schools.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Oakland Schools Chief: Integration More Complicated Than You Think","datePublished":"2016-09-10T16:00:02.000Z","dateModified":"2016-09-10T16:48:41.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11081427 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11081427","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/10/oakland-schools-chief-integration-more-complicated-than-you-think/","disqusTitle":"Oakland Schools Chief: Integration More Complicated Than You Think","nprStoryId":"493415747","path":"/news/11081427/oakland-schools-chief-integration-more-complicated-than-you-think","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>The head of Oakland public schools, Antwan Wilson, responded to KQED's series on segregated schools in a sit-down interview with morning anchor Brian Watt.

So that’s the first step for us, and there are several more steps after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The White House is offering grants to districts that want to integrate their schools more socioeconomically. Is Oakland Unified going after those grants?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to be in a position to have a great shot at getting the grant, we want to show that we have great strategy, that we have a great deal of community will, political will and being willing to work with the various partners we’re going to need to work with in order to move the work. So yes, in short, we are interested in pursuing grants, but not just with the government, but also with some local organizations, some national philanthropic organizations that are helping us on issues of school design, on how to make choice and equity.

Today, it's 57 percent white and 16 percent African-American. Latinos make up 11 percent, kids of two or more races make up 12 percent, and Asians make up 3 percent. The free and reduced-price lunch numbers dropped from 53 percent to 22 percent in the last decade.

The school became more and more successful, with a schoolwide program that integrates arts into the everyday curriculum. As the school became more attractive, more white and middle-class families began enrolling in the neighborhood school. In 2010 and 2011, Peralta won the same award Manzanita SEED did, for achieving high academic results with a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Ironically, today Peralta would not be eligible for the same award, because it has too few low-income families. Home prices in the neighborhood have gone up, and many African-Americans have moved out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It happened pretty quick,” Paul said. “It’s kinda cushy up here. But then, one day I wake up and it’s \u003cem>really\u003c/em> cushy, and it's nothing but Asian and white people. From what I see, it tells me that the people who can afford here look like that. And it's not black people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Parents Take On Outreach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a district plan to keep schools diverse, some parents and teachers have decided to take on the task themselves of doing intentional outreach to families who may otherwise miss the enrollment deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Manzanita SEED, Delucchi spends a lot of time trying to keep African-American parents at the school. She visits local child care and rec centers to tell low-income families of all ethnicities about the school and how to enroll, so they can get in the door during the open enrollment window. She and other parents also started a Black Family Engagement group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So they feel like they're part of a network of people, they're not in isolation, like swimming among all these other folks with no support,\" said Delucchi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another Oakland school, Sequoia Elementary, teacher Tontra Love says principals have sometimes visited black or Latino churches or Buddhist temples to do outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope,\" she said, \"that all the little pieces we are doing help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sequoia Teachers Make Diversity Outreach a Priority\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://sequoiaschool.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Elementary\u003c/a>, near Dimond Park, is one of a handful of schools in Oakland that actually have a good mix of Latino, Asian, African-American and white students. But Love says in recent years Sequoia has seen a slow decline in African-American students and low-income kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says teachers here are determined to keep their school diverse, so they are not afraid to talk openly and directly about the importance of diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When parents talk about making it a better school,\" Love says, \"we say we want to make it a better school, too, but we want to make sure you’re interpreting better as still diverse in race, diverse in socioeconomic class, diverse in all different ways.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Love says the school has made an effort to recruit and keep teachers of color, like her. And when potential kindergarten parents come to tour the school, Love always tells them about her son’s first day at Sequoia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His very first comment on the first day of school was, ‘I love my school because there’s kids that look like me,' ” Love says. “And, you know, as a person of color, I knew how important that was for me. So part of you is so happy that your child has that same thing and you can relate. How sad when at 5, they’ve also been in situations where they already weren't that, right? So that’s the story I start with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s that kind of clear talk that Love thinks attracts parents who value diversity, parents like Joel Tena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a wondrous moment, because we walked into the room, and we saw what we were looking for, which was quite frankly a reflection of Oakland,” Tena said. “My wife is Asian, I’m Latino. Our son is a little brown boy with long hair who loves to play soccer. And we wanted him to be part of a community that reflected our values and where we were coming from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tena likes that at school his son plays soccer with a boy who speaks Arabic. He said Sequoia is teaching kids how to cross lines of race and class that adults in Oakland rarely do. But Tena is worried the neighborhood could be changing -- that his school could flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the people who are moving in are white. When they're able to go to school and they start looking around, they’re going to see Sequoia as the option for their kids to go to,” Tena said. “And unless there’s a plan in place to ensure that Sequoia retains the diversity it has right now, socioeconomic, class, race, it will be gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: Reporter Zaidee Stavely and OUSD Superintendent Antwan Wilson spoke on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2016/09/07/oakland-public-schools-largely-segregated-by-race-class/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED \"Forum\"\u003c/a> with host Michael Krasny from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"People in Oakland talk about schools 'flipping' from mostly students of color to mostly white students.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1473462531,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":46,"wordCount":1969},"headData":{"title":"Gentrification Threatens Oakland's Few Truly Diverse Schools | KQED","description":"People in Oakland talk about schools 'flipping' from mostly students of color to mostly white students.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Gentrification Threatens Oakland's Few Truly Diverse Schools","datePublished":"2016-09-07T15:55:12.000Z","dateModified":"2016-09-09T23:08:51.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11060036 http://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11060036","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/07/gentrification-threatens-oaklands-few-truly-diverse-schools/","disqusTitle":"Gentrification Threatens Oakland's Few Truly Diverse Schools","nprStoryId":"492974540","path":"/news/11060036/gentrification-threatens-oaklands-few-truly-diverse-schools","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>When \u003ca href=\"http://www.ousd.org/manzanitaseed\" target=\"_blank\">Manzanita SEED\u003c/a>, a Spanish-English dual immersion school, opened in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood in 2005, it was serving almost exclusively low-income Latino, Asian and African-American families from nearby neighborhoods.

Today, it's 57 percent white and 16 percent African-American. Latinos make up 11 percent, kids of two or more races make up 12 percent, and Asians make up 3 percent.

The school became more and more successful, with a schoolwide program that integrates arts into the everyday curriculum. As the school became more attractive, more white and middle-class families began enrolling in the neighborhood school. In 2010 and 2011, Peralta won the same award Manzanita SEED did, for achieving high academic results with a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Ironically, today Peralta would not be eligible for the same award, because it has too few low-income families. Home prices in the neighborhood have gone up, and many African-Americans have moved out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It happened pretty quick,” Paul said. “It’s kinda cushy up here. But then, one day I wake up and it’s \u003cem>really\u003c/em> cushy, and it's nothing but Asian and white people. From what I see, it tells me that the people who can afford here look like that.

She visits local child care and rec centers to tell low-income families of all ethnicities about the school and how to enroll, so they can get in the door during the open enrollment window. She and other parents also started a Black Family Engagement group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So they feel like they're part of a network of people, they're not in isolation, like swimming among all these other folks with no support,\" said Delucchi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another Oakland school, Sequoia Elementary, teacher Tontra Love says principals have sometimes visited black or Latino churches or Buddhist temples to do outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope,\" she said, \"that all the little pieces we are doing help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sequoia Teachers Make Diversity Outreach a Priority\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://sequoiaschool.net/\" target=\"_blank\">Sequoia Elementary\u003c/a>, near Dimond Park, is one of a handful of schools in Oakland that actually have a good mix of Latino, Asian, African-American and white students.

And when potential kindergarten parents come to tour the school, Love always tells them about her son’s first day at Sequoia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“His very first comment on the first day of school was, ‘I love my school because there’s kids that look like me,' ” Love says. “And, you know, as a person of color, I knew how important that was for me. So part of you is so happy that your child has that same thing and you can relate. How sad when at 5, they’ve also been in situations where they already weren't that, right? So that’s the story I start with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s that kind of clear talk that Love thinks attracts parents who value diversity, parents like Joel Tena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a wondrous moment, because we walked into the room, and we saw what we were looking for, which was quite frankly a reflection of Oakland,” Tena said. “My wife is Asian, I’m Latino.

And we wanted him to be part of a community that reflected our values and where we were coming from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tena likes that at school his son plays soccer with a boy who speaks Arabic. He said Sequoia is teaching kids how to cross lines of race and class that adults in Oakland rarely do. But Tena is worried the neighborhood could be changing -- that his school could flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the people who are moving in are white. When they're able to go to school and they start looking around, they’re going to see Sequoia as the option for their kids to go to,” Tena said. “And unless there’s a plan in place to ensure that Sequoia retains the diversity it has right now, socioeconomic, class, race, it will be gone.”\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\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: Reporter Zaidee Stavely and OUSD Superintendent Antwan Wilson spoke on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/forum/2016/09/07/oakland-public-schools-largely-segregated-by-race-class/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED \"Forum\"\u003c/a> with host Michael Krasny from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11060036/gentrification-threatens-oaklands-few-truly-diverse-schools","authors":["3225"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_19542","news_18","news_1826","news_19889"],"featImg":"news_11077108","label":"news_6944"},"news_11061802":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11061802","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11061802","score":null,"sort":[1472650241000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"oakland-prides-itself-on-being-diverse-until-it-comes-time-to-send-kids-to-school","title":"Oakland Prides Itself on Being Diverse -- Until It Comes Time to Send Kids to School","publishDate":1472650241,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Walking her daughter to school in their neighborhood of Sobrante Park in East Oakland, Marina Muñoz passes an old mattress on the curb and several abandoned cars.

Like in other cities across the country, segregation in Oakland was by design. In the early 20th century, real estate agents and mortgage companies refused to give loans to people of color, and homeowner associations had specific policies against renting or selling to African-Americans and Asian-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the \u003ca href=\"http://lakeshorehomes.net/\" target=\"_blank\">oldest of these homeowner associations\u003c/a> west of the Mississippi was founded in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood in 1917.

So Crocker Highlands was more evenly divided, with about 40 percent African-American and 40 percent white students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My first PTA meeting, I’ll never forget it, the PTA members were talking about how important diversity was,\" Harris said. \"And then, several years into my experience there, that narrative shifted significantly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened was that Crocker Highlands families started working to get more of their neighbors to send their kids to Crocker, to invest in the neighborhood school and improve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was an active group that was working with the local Realtor, who was really intentional about selling homes to people who were going to be committed to sending their kids to Crocker,\" Harris said. \"So there was a real shift in the culture and climate in terms of accepting and embracing folks that were outside the little Crocker Highlands bubble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, more and more African-American kids from outside the neighborhood were squeezed out. Today, 60 percent of Crocker Highlands’ students are white, and only 10 percent are black.

Like in other cities across the country, segregation in Oakland was by design. In the early 20th century, real estate agents and mortgage companies refused to give loans to people of color, and homeowner associations had specific policies against renting or selling to African-Americans and Asian-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the \u003ca href=\"http://lakeshorehomes.net/\" target=\"_blank\">oldest of these homeowner associations\u003c/a> west of the Mississippi was founded in the Crocker Highlands neighborhood in 1917. The federal government outlawed racial covenants in 1968, but this Oakland neighborhood didn't officially lift them until 1979. African-Americans have moved in and out of Crocker Highlands over the years, but today the neighborhood is mostly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified's executive director of enrollment, Charles Wilson, recognizes that the existing neighborhood boundaries reinforce the legacy of housing segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the challenge for us is how do we push against that, at the same time recognizing that everyone has a right to attend school close to their home?\" Wilson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the district plans to apply for a federal grant to try to integrate the schools socioeconomically, maybe offering spaces at high-performing schools to kids from low-income neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What if we were to say, we will never allow a school to become more than 80 percent free and reduced lunch or less than 60 percent?\" Wilson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's still in the early planning stages, but Wilson says integration is a priority for the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's also a very thorny issue that is going to require a lot of delicate movement to include the community in,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Integration Is a Hard Sell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School integration plans are often met with lawsuits, and white and wealthy parents fleeing to private schools.

It has neighborhood zones that run from the wealthy hills to the lower-income flatlands and uses block-by-block information to pull students from a wide range of races, incomes and levels of parent education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Oakland is a different city. It has fewer white students and more students from low-income families. But Janelle Scott says that’s not a reason not to integrate. Oakland’s diversity, she says, is an incredible opportunity for people to really understand each other, across lines of race and class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have large numbers of Latino, African-American and Asian students, but we see that many of those students never even go to school together. So for me, it really comes back to what kind of society do we want to have?\" Scott said. \"Do we want our children as young adults to be able to get along with each other, to know about each other, to be respectful of each other?

But these two schools, Peralta and Sankofa, bring the inequities into stark focus because they’re so close. The streets directly around Sankofa are actually zoned for both schools.

So the school district relies on parents to do it of their own free will.

School districts have to be pretty savvy to make sure there is not this sense that one school is not dramatically better to get into, because parents will find a way to game that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott said part of any district's integration plan has to be committing to spreading funds and teachers fairly across all schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope that Oakland will mix it up a little bit,\" said Sankofa parent leader Kristin Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the concentration of poverty at Sankofa makes it hard to compete with a school like Peralta, where the kids have fewer needs, and where wealthier parents raise money and lobby the district to support the school. She said Sankofa's principal has worked hard to get grants and work with community organizations to renovate the playground, build a music program and offer French classes, but she would like to have a full science program, more art and classroom aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For OUSD’s portion of it, I would think they would want to make sure all schools at least appear to parents to be equitably served, so parents are choosing among a large pool of schools,\" Smith said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Wealthier Schools Must Welcome Parents of Color\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith moved her son to Sankofa last year, the same year Eleanor Wohlfeiler moved her son out.
