		<description><![CDATA[People who follow education news in California probably have heard of the new law known as the &#8220;Parent Trigger.&#8221; It allows parents to unionize &#8212; and to petition to convert eligible low-performing schools into charters or force major staffing shake-ups, among other interventions.

		<description><![CDATA[Today was the Tribune forum on education, held in the Oakland Public Library&#8217;s beautiful new branch on 81st Avenue. I&#8217;ll admit, I was unsure about how the day would shape up, or how the discussion on charter schools would go. (I&#8217;m way more comfortable in front of a computer screen, even under the tightest deadline [...]]]></description>

In fact, Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds has organized a forum on some of the issues facing the city&#8217;s public schools. It&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

Here are a few photos taken by a real photographer (Laura A. Oda/Tribune) with a real camera. She came on Friday afternoon, before the turning point.

		<description><![CDATA[These days, it sure seems like a radical idea: asking teachers, rather than telling them, what&#8217;s needed to improve their schools. It&#8217;s happening in Oakland, though. You can read more about the purpose and the early work of a largely teacher-led project, the Effective Teaching Task Force, here. The story ran over the weekend. HOW [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve heard they&#8217;re well run, and I need to get a better handle on how the Quality Community Schools Development task force is approaching a topic as broad and multi-faceted as school quality.

		<description><![CDATA[Five years ago, the three high schools on East Oakland&#8217;s Castlemont campus had almost 1,300 students. That number has dwindled to 700 &#8212; a 45 percent drop. The Fremont campus, also in East Oakland, has seen a similar slide. A decade ago, more than 2,000 students went to school there. Now, there are just 940. [...]]]></description>
