Oakland Unified School Board Member Mike Hutchinson has expressed serious concerns about the potential ousting of Superintendent Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell, suggesting that such a move could occur without a clear succession plan. Hutchinson warns that this could destabilize the district, especially since the superintendent's contract runs until 2027. Despite Hutchinson’s concerns, School Board President Jennifer Brouhard contests these claims, calling them misinformation that breeds chaos. In contrast, former board member Jorge Lerma suggests that resistance to necessary changes by Johnson-Trammell is fueling her potential removal.
My big concern for (Wednesday) night's meeting is the school board majority is going to finish the work that they have started, out of the blue, over the last month, and force our Superintendent Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell, out of office at the end of June.
This wrong information creates chaos and uncertainty for our staff, students, and families. We, both the board and the media, should not be a part of promoting this chaos.
She was prepared to do a very necessary and long overdue deconstruction and renovation of the Oakland Unified School District. And I think that's really what's behind it.
And this is really going to leave the district is a difficult situation of trying to replace our long-tenured superintendent in two months.
