		<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.
