Special election will determine balance of power on board amid huge financial shortfalls, substandard test scores.
An Oakland native and graduate of Oakland High School, Laney College and Cal State East Bay, Jorge Lerma has been a teacher, assistant principal and principal in Oakland schools.The future of the financially beleaguered and educationally challenged Oakland public schools will be determined by a special election Nov. 7 to fill a vacancy on the district’s governing board.
Like most of Oakland politics, this is not a choice between left and right, or liberal and conservative. This is a pick between two progressives, Jorge Lerma, a career educator with strong financial acumen, and Sasha Ritzie-Hernandez, a community organizer with little understanding of the district’s fiscal plight.
Lerma is the only candidate prepared to meet the moment. An Oakland native and graduate of Oakland High School, Laney College and Cal State East Bay, he has been a teacher, assistant principal and principal in Oakland schools. The upcoming special election will select someone to fill the remaining year of Hutchinson’s District 5 term.
