that was a surprise to many and so was how quickly this process is going. there will be a final vote on february 8. >> mike hutchinson wants everyone to know that he is the one who released the list of schools that may end up closing. the oakland school board member first posted it on social media. >> i did not leak anything. this was not privileged or confidential. i did my job by reporting to my constituents and the community information i had received about their schools being under threat for closure. >> oakland superintendent set out a note stating that the information shared was from a draft. it is not the final set of recommendations. this is a map with the proposed closures for this year. among them, this elementary school. today the staff began determining flyers to parents interested in having a meeting on this possible closure. henderson, a grandmother, has

had a deep connection with the school. >> are losing not only of education, a support system, their friends, their teachers. this is all in one into service. >> the district needs two/$50 million from next year's budget, but hutchinson insists there is no budget deficit. >> what we are doing is going through a series of budget adjustments to free up more money to raise compensation for staff going forward. but we are not in budget crisis. we have money in our reserves. >> then the issue of declining enrollment, which affects the district did. before the schools in oakland it shut down because of the pandemic, the number of students enrolled as of march 13, 2020 was 35,904. at the beginning of this year, the recorded number on august 23, 2021 was 34,970. 904 -- 934 fewer students.

that is less money coming from the state per student. sarah teaches at this high school, also on the preliminary closure list. she says there should be community input. >> the final closure vote will happen february 8 and schools are not going to be notified there on that list until january 20. the whole thing is outrageous. >> another argument being made is that when you compare california's largest district, oakland has the highest ratio of schools to students. the district argues that keeping all of those schools open means they spend more money to maintain them. but let us put this in perspective. 20 years ago, oakland embraced public charter schools. more than any other district in california. i don't think anyone would argue that giving parents a choice also meant that traditional public schools have lost students. in the newsroom, we had
