district's financial shortfall initially plummeted -- prompted plans to close last year. leanne melendez covered those initial plans and she's covering this big change. she's in the newsroom for us. why the reversal? >> the change because three of the newly elected board members campaigned on the promise that they would reject the school closures. they wasted no time they voted without even having a fiscal impact analysis. the schoo based on a statement in the resolution stating that ousd is not in financial crisis. the district is projecting budget surpluses on all years of the multiyear plan. there is some truth to that. oakland unified has one-time moneys from the state and could cover the cost of keeping those schools open. but the funds are expected to

eventually run out. here's an interview we did earlier in the year with former board member chante gonzales. >> the county office of education on the state have been quite clear that we cannot continue to use one-time funds to pay for ongoing operating expenses of the district. >> oakland unified to finally pay off the $60 million loan received 20 years ago by the state and that puts them in a better financial position. in order to get out of receivership, not only do they have to pay off that debt, but they have to demonstrate that they are being fiscally responsible. my conscience and presented the resolution. >> we had already budgeted money for welcoming schools. schools that would be absorbing students from the closed schools. the resolution we passed yesterday gives us the option to reallocate that to offset any allocated closures -- costs.

recently certified as having a positive budget for the first time in 20 years. they liked what they heard and they ran with it. dan: is there any possibility this food could be overturned? >> yes. the district continues to be in partial receivership. that means there is a trustee has to approve their finances. the trustee could say i don't think keeping those schools open is a good idea from a financial standpoint. i'm told that trustee has never used that power to overturn a decision when it comes to their finances. dan: it would be unprecedented. ama: the postal service unveiled its nuclear -- lunar new year stamp. they museum to celebrate design which marks the year of the rabbit. the lunar new year begins
