GO Public Schools Oakland is Developing Solutions thru Multi-Year Campaigns
Budgeting for Impact
Core Belief: To best serve each student equitably, public school districts, with their limited resources, must be financially prudent and laser focused on excellence. It is critical that educators and community members be involved in the developing best practices and systems change.
What We Do: GO will advocate for best financial practices by supporting District leaders, and deeply engage community members on the urgency and complexity of the tough decisions facing OUSD and the necessity of making those decisions.
