Teachers from three elementary schools also planned a 'sickout' Tuesday in solidarity with the students' safety demands.
Some high school students in Oakland are planning to boycott classes over COVID-19 safety concerns.Classes moved to online instructionTeachers from three elementary schools also planned a"sickout" Tuesday in solidarity with the students' safety demands.Here's a statement the Oakland Unified School District provided on Monday:
“The District is aware of a petition that some OUSD students are circulating. We share the students’ concern about the spike in omicron cases of COVID-19. That concern is why we have distributed KN-95 and N-95 masks to all staff. We have also received 200,000 KN-95 masks for all students. They are being distributed now. We have had the supplies for new covered eating spaces at dozens of schools, including new tables and shade structures, on order since, in some cases, last summer.
"Supply line issues have slowed their delivery significantly. Where deliveries have been made, our staff is already installing these structures at schools, and this process will continue as we receive more of the supplies. As far as testing goes, like we have been doing since last year, we have testing available to students at ten hubs across the District. We are also doing weekly pooled testing at elementary schools, and have bi-weekly drop-in testing for our secondary schools.
"We are already meeting, or are in the process of meeting, most of the demands noted in this petition. And we will continue to work towards fulfilling the rest in the coming weeks. The best thing that all students can do to protect themselves is to get vaccinated and boosted. We are offering vaccine pop-ups at multiple locations this month . We thank our students for staying in front of these issues, and bringing their concerns to District leadership.
