Oakland Special School Board Election 2023: Who will represent Fruitvale in District 5?
Under the order of Alameda County Superintendent of Schools, Alysse Castro, the now-vacant District 5 school board seat in Oakland is going to be filled with someone elected by the public this November 7, 2023.
With a deciding vote, the next D5 school board member will have the power to sway major decisions, impacting charter school’s ability to be renewed, receive funding, or have access to district facilities.

You’re Invited! Join FIA parent and youth leaders as they host a candidate forum for District 5 school board candidates on Thursday, September 28 at 6:30 pm at Lazear Charter Academy (824 29th Ave). Intepretation and dinner will be available.
