Scroll down to sign this letter and continue to the next screen to share a public comment. Temperatures regularly reach 80s and 90s in over 2,100 OUSD classrooms. This is a safety threat and equity failure that deepens achievement gaps and health disparities, and results in students losing access to learning. It’s illegal under ADA Title II and Section 504, and it’s resulted in heatstroke fevers above 103°F and hospital visits for multiple students this month alone. The district has known about this issue for at least 15 years and has chosen to delay action again and again. Many classrooms also now have thermostats that automatically report temperature and CO2 levels – both of which commonly reach unsafe and unhealthy levels – to the district leadership. Through both the district’s own studies and community-led efforts, we know that proven solutions exist that are scalable to all classrooms TODAY. Together, we can implore Oakland Unified School District to take action to protect the students and teachers of Oakland. What is the plan to do something about this health emergency in summer 2026? https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/ousd-cool-our-schools-this-summer
