Parents and neighborhood activists are making a defiant stand at an Oakland elementary school that was ordered closed by the district earlier this year.
OAKLAND -- Occupation of Oakland's Parker Elementary School overheated Thursday afternoon with conflict between community members and school district security staff, organizers said Friday.
"OUSD staff went to Parker on Thursday and found all the people who had been inside the building had left the premises," school district officials said in a statement."So, staff changed the locks and set the alarm. Someone picked, cut, or otherwise broke through a lock to get back inside the building. They were removed. But unfortunately, individuals forced their way back into the building.
By 6 p.m., community members including at least one school board candidate and an elected official were outside. By about 6:30 p.m., when Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife arrived, a door had been breached and a lot of pushing and shoving was occurring from both sides, Fife said.Someone called police at 6:09 p.m. regarding an assault at the school. Officers arrived and located one victim, police said.
