Oakland School Board member thanks community for response to ICE activity

ICE activity near Hoover Elementary was among the topics discussed at Wednesday night’s Oakland Unified School District board meeting. The event primarily focused on how the district plans to address a $100 million budget shortfall. Board members and union leaders opened the meeting by thanking parents, staff and community members for their response earlier in the day, when the school went into lockdown after federal agents confronted a man at gunpoint just a block from campus.
