These include: coordinating and providing mental health support after significantly negative school events, training relevant staff in the CSTAG threat assessment protocol, and coordinate Tier 3 interventions for intensive student situations. Members also participate in the District Safety and Emergency Committee to include postvention strategies into crisis response.

Growing Community: Increasing Connectedness for Oakland USD's McKinney Vento, Foster, and Newcomer Youth
Tuesday April 29, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm PDT
TBA
System-impacted students need ways to build a sense of belonging, agency, and academic identity through meaningful relationships. However, many adult practices are disconnected from students’ best interests and are based on a system that is not designed for marginalized youth to successfully graduate. Upon recognizing this disconnect, Oakland Unified School District leaders came together across departments to address these issues and focus on equity.

This interactive presentation will offer experiential learning on OUSD’s journey by highlighting the value of student-centered design, exploring student-led research strategies to address chronic absenteeism, and unpacking student well-being and relationship data.
