		<description><![CDATA[photo by Laura A. Oda/staff photographer We ran a story Sunday about shifting demographics in inner-city neighborhoods such as West Oakland &#8212; changes which have resulted in fewer school-age children in the area and declining public school enrollment. Oakland, as a whole, lost 20 percent of its 5- to 17-year-olds between 2000 and 2010, according [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Oakland school district is closing five elementary schools next year. Two of its other schools might be converted into independently run charters, taking 800 children with them. And at least one &#8212; quite possibly, two &#8212; brand new charter schools open next fall, with plans to admit more than 600 students, combined. But OUSD&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon, the Oakland school district posted maps showing how it might redraw its boundaries for 2012-13, after five elementary schools close. OUSD Spokesman Troy Flint is double-checking on this, but it appears that the remaining schools&#8217; boundaries would only expand &#8212; not shift &#8212; under this plan. In other words, that the only residents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The California Department of Education recently posted 2010-11 enrollment data. At least one of you has asked how many schools have fewer than 200 children, so I put together a spreadsheet with the latest numbers for Oakland. Tab 1 is sorted by total enrollment, with charter schools highlighted in blue. Tab 2 is sorted by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This spring, I wrote about the changes at Oakland&#8217;s Lazear Elementary School under its new principal, Kareem Weaver. Lest the year end without controversy, rumors have been circulating that the school (see below map) could be closed down to make way for a big box store. More than 100 people came to a recent meeting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last school year, 14.3 percent of Oakland&#8217;s public schoolchildren were chronically absent, meaning they missed at least 18 days of school &#8212; excused or unexcused. As you can see from this map, created by (and posted with the permission of) the Oakland-based Urban Strategies Council, the most serious attendance problems are concentrated in West Oakland.

(The cutoff would be Nov. 1 in 2012; Oct. 1 in 2013; and Sept. 1 in 2014.) Proponents say many 4-year-olds can&#8217;t compete with children who are up to a year [...]]]></description>
