		<description><![CDATA[Keegan Kyle, a reporter at Voice of San Diego, offers his readers a look at what&#8217;s happened in Oakland&#8217;s public schools since the 2003 state takeover. It&#8217;s interesting to note that Randy Ward, OUSD&#8217;s first state-appointed administrator (pictured above, in 2006), is the superintendent of the San Diego County Office of Education, which oversees the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a happy day in Emery Unified. The district was celebrating the end of an era: a decade of state debt and state control. Emery&#8217;s fiscal crisis began to unfold in 2000, about two years before the mess in Oakland began. Its former superintendent, J.L. Handy, who had racked up personal charges on the district [...]]]></description>
