NEWS:
Complementary Learning Program
[

Every year, the Federal, State, and
local governments spend millions of dollars trying to boost academic
performance in Oakland. They do this by bringing after-school programs and
other services to the district's lowest-income schools. According to the
California Department of Education, last year, only 42% of Oakland second
graders could read at the second grade level. But, Oakland Unified is
doing something about it. Rather than just throwing more money at the
problem, the district adopted a new educational model called Complementary
Learning. It's aim? To get schools to work and communicate with the
after-school programs and other outside services working with their
students. KALW’s Eloise Quintanilla visited two Oakland elementary schools
to see whether this vision had become a reality. She found radically
different results.
