Environmental legislation is being passed (such as San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's law for mandatory composting) and concern about global warming is heightening. The call is being heard for emerging leaders, scientists, and activists in this field, and Oakland Technical High School is answering with their new Green Academy.

Access at Oakland Public Schools

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 09/24/2009 - 23:13.
Lets pray that this academy doesn't end up like all the other good ones as a refuge for middle and upper middle class white kids to avoid paying private school tuition. The whole idea of Oakland Public Schools having academy's is to give poor kids access to a supportive, encouraging environment where they have the chance to succeed. Heres to that goal.
