Synopsis

Understand Oakland’s public schools through a detailed, data‑driven look at organization, scope, and spending.

This edition provides context on how Oakland built and funded its school system, including how growing enrollment, new campuses, and expanded programs affected costs and operations. It discusses where economies are possible and which investments support better learning outcomes for a diverse student body.

The material highlights key areas such as high school expansion, junior high concepts, department-based instruction, and the role of supervision and leadership in shaping educational results. It also compares Oakland’s per‑capita spending and wealth to peer cities to explain its unique challenges and strengths.

• Clear summaries of expenditures for instruction, maintenance, and capital outlays.


• Observations on the impact of new high schools, junior high reorganizations, and expanded arts and vocational offerings.


• Discussion of supervision, staffing decisions, and potential efficiency gains without harming education quality.


• Contextual comparisons to other cities’ tax capacity and educational costs.

Ideal for readers seeking a historical, numbers‑driven view of how a growing city balanced education policy with budget realities.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
