Community involvement and support has always been a pillar of strong public schools. Enrolled or not, the cooperation of all families and neighbors with the school teachers and staff helps build a positive learning environment for the children. Maxwell Park schools and all of Oakland public schools need the full support and unity of the community. When applicants for the new Maxwell Park Elementary School Principal are being interviewed in May, and when the new school is being designed next school year, I demand there be seats at the table for teachers, staff, parents and community members. ______________________________________________________________________ *note, your email address will NOT be displayed publically! *after signing the petition, you are not required to donate anything...simply close any ipetition donation request boxes if you wish to ignore them.

The administration remains silent despite the clear need for community input on this new leadership position. I am spending my evenings reaching out to local offices to ensure they cannot ignore our demand for a seat at the table. It is exhausting work but the future of our neighborhood schools is worth the fight.

YES. teachers and parents know what this school needs more than any administrator from downtown ever will.

Oakland schools have been neglected for way too long. Give the people living here a real say in how things are run.

My kids go to school here and we need to be involved in the principal selection. It affects our daily lives.
