California ranks in the bottom quartile in per-student funding in the nation, and Oakland has some of the largest resource needs for the students it serves. With federal funding for education shrinking and state and local funding in high demand, where can Oakland find the resources necessary to provide a high-quality education for its children? Join us for this sixth and final installment of our series on education in Oakland. Generously sponsored by the Rogers Family Foundation.
