"With all the complexities and difficulties of running a public school today, I don’t know how we could have done what we have without the Oakland Schools Foundation this year. When we had an opportunity to apply for a major grant, but I was delayed in delivering the parts that OSF needed for the proposal, the executive director literally walked into my office and wrote the successful grant with me on her laptop at my desk. I am so grateful for that kind of special attention and sensitivity to our crazy schedules and pressures.”
