Asset Managment

The School Board is developing a policy on the strategic use of District properties, which will be addressing the following questions:

Who are the students for whom OUSD is responsible? How should OUSD best utilize its properties to provide high quality school facilities to students for whom we are responsible? How should OUSD best utilize its properties to efficiently house central administrative services? How can OUSD best utilize its properties to earn revenues to support school operations?

The Special Committee will be holding a series of meetings with stakeholders and community groups as we prepare a draft policy that will be first presented to the Board of Education on June 26, and considered for adoption in August.  After the Board has adopted a policy, we expect the OUSD staff will develop a plan for using our facilities, later this year.  The first hearing is this Monday, April 15, 4:00 p.m.  Here is the full list of dates, times, and topic. All meetings will be held at the KDOL Studio, B-213 (2nd Floor), La Escuelita Education Center, 1050 2nd Ave., Oakland, CA 94606.
