The California Department of Justice has launched a fact-finding mission into the Oakland Unified School District over its plan to close seven schools and merge two others, as the closures may violate students' rights to equal access to education.Early this year when the Oakland Unified School District announced it was closing a bunch of schools over budget woes and declining enrollment (a plan whose current incarnation is to close seven schools and merge two others), the response from teachers and parents was very Bay Area: hunger strikes, student walkouts, and activists occupying a shuttered school.
