A few items of interest:

Decision - East Oakland Leadership Academy High - Petition and Proposed Charter School (Renewal) (Grades 9-12)

The board will discuss, and have the opportunity to vote, on renewing a charter petition from East Oakland Leadership Academy (EOLA) High.

Superintendent Tony Smith is recommending the board vote to deny the charter renewal. In a report authored by Superintendent Smith and Philip Dotson, the Acting Coordinator for OUSD's Office of Charter Schools, EOLA Charter High has "failed to meet 3.5 of its 5 measurable pupil outcomes as set forth in their charter."

Emergency Contracts - Paul Robeson Administrative Building - Water Damage

OUSD's main administrative building was badly damaged during the winter break by flooding. On Wednesday, the board will vote on whether to authorize an emergency contract for Restoration Management Company and Corovan Moving and Storage to begin emergency repairs on the building.

The contract would come without competitive bids and would exceed the district's $250,000 deductible, according to the text of the item, with remaining costs covered by OUSD's insurance.
