Good morning, Oakland.
🎓 Education
Local Oakland parents partnered with the Oakland Public Education Fund last week to raise $100,000 for portable air-conditioning units + training teachers, focusing first on Title I classrooms reaching unsafe temperatures.

🏛️ Government
Oakland officials are addressing a rising homelessness issue as the city battles to enforce a new encampment cleanup policy & manage property theft concerns linked to makeshift shelters.
Leaders debate whether stricter law enforcement or increased housing funding will better serve the community amid ongoing resource constraints.
A proposal would convert an 82,000 sqft downtown building into a modest data center, but local activists and Councilmember Carroll Fife have urged a 45-day moratorium on such projects + a city committee will review this plan next week.
Tech companies are also leasing West Oakland space for AI ventures.
