California State Controller: Don't Fine Oakland Public Schools Millions for the State's Mistake
The Issue
Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) is being threatened with more than $25 million in fines and other charges for financial mistakes made while the district was under state control. California Assemblymember Sandré Swanson has intervened and is working with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and the State Controller's office to eliminate the fines and other charges.
The State is unfairly assessing OUSD more than $25 million for errors that occurred on its watch. Sign the petition below and tell California State Controller John Chiang to waive the fines and charges.
Oakland shouldn't have to pay millions for the State's mistake.
