"Recently, a group of teachers negotiated for salary adjustments on behalf of the OSA teacher union, Coalition of Oakland School for the Arts Teacher and Staff, or COSATS. The negotiations lasted exactly three weeks, from September 14th to October 5th. They ended with the teachers getting a six percent retroactive raise and two to four percent bonus if they met their fundraising goals, an outcome both sides were happy with." -- Isaiah Kahn, 8th grade Halloween has come and gone, and with it was OSA’s Haunted House.The OSA Haunted House is an event put on by Production Design that takes place every other year. It is a fun event for students in both Fashion and Production Design to take part in making. -- Kaliyah Smith & Ava Ford "OSA has plans to repurpose the lot next to Henry J.

Angus cloud can also be remembered by his high school community and friends as conor hickey, that's what he went by." -- Xochitl Reimann, 12th grade "Imagine spending 4 weeks in the wilderness surrounded by people your age from all over the world, learning about global issues, making life-long friendships, and making connections in a world without a screen. You do all that and more at Camp Rising Sun!" -- Aiyla Baker, 11th grade "What do those other pride flags mean? How many students identify under those flags at OSA?" -- Simon grembek, 9th grade |
