Oakland High School

That follows the cell phone ban that started this school year.

So what does all this look like from the inside of a classroom? To find out, I'm joined by two OUSD educators, Lara Trale from Oakland High School and Alicia Simba from Prescott Elementary, along with our education reporter, Ashley McBride.

Before we get to them, a quick message from a local organization supporting this show.

[upbeat music] Jack London Square, Oakland's waterfront, right at the edge of the estuary.

Together, this is a big shift in how Oakland schools are thinking about screens.

So today, we're going inside the classroom to ask people who teach in Oakland Unified School District what that looks like.

Lara Trale teaches English to sophomores and seniors at Oakland High School.

This year, she had her students write most of their major assignments by hand for the first time in nearly twenty years of teaching.

There's Temescal Pool, Defermerie Pool in West Oakland, Lions in Diamond, and Larry E. Reed and Fremont Pool in East Oakland.

There's also Live Oak Pool at Oakland High.

That one's a little

bit complicated.

The city said that that pool would be closed for maintenance until September 28th.

I don't have an update right now, but that's something that we are looking into.

We also heard from a lot of people who are wondering what's going on with the city-owned pool that we talked about before, Live Oak Pool, which is actually at Oakland High School.

Yeah, it's a beautiful pool.
