Oakland Unified School District OUSD Highlights Numerous Major Facilities Projects and Thanks Voters for Approving Measure J Which Funded the Projects
Oakland – Over the past month, OUSD has been showing off facilities projects that came to fruition largely because of the support of Oakland voters. Measure J enabled the District to totally rebuild the Glenview Elementary School campus, create a new high school building at Madison Park Academy, rebuild much of the Fremont High School campus and add an academic building, and build a new Central Kitchen that will create tens of thousands of meals a day and provide educational opportunities for students across Oakland.
In each case, the District held a news conference to show the community the features of the new facilities. (One is set for later this week at the Central Kitchen.) Staff from KDOL, the District’s TV station, did a video about each project sharing messages from the speakers including architects and contractors, city leaders, teachers, principals, the OUSD Superintendent and the Board of Education. Numerous speakers at each school thanked the voters for passing Measure J and enabling the completion of the projects.
Below are three KDOL videos that, in order, highlight the rebuilt Glenview Elementary campus, the new Madison Park Academy high school building, and the Fremont High School project.
