After years of serving as Oakland’s school district superintendent, Kyla Johnson-Trammell is now on her way out. The school board voted to end her contract.
The board did not explain why they’re ousting the current superintendent. However, efforts to remove her started two weeks ago, during the meeting on April 9 when school board member Mike Hutchinson announced that after eight years on the job and a recent contract renewal, the board majority was trying to get rid of Johnson-Trammell.
Other members of the board, including its president, refused to comment on what happened in closed session, citing a violation of the Brown Act. On Wednesday night, they only described the decision as a “voluntary separation agreement.” The announcement prompted outrage from community members attending the meeting.
Johnson-Trammell did not attend the meeting. However, she did publish a thank-you letter on the district’s website which said, “As I prepared to step away from my role as your superintendent on June 30, I do so with immense pride in what we’ve accomplished together. The last eight years have brought some of the most challenging and most defining moments in our district’s history. Through it all, Oakland has shown what’s possible when we stay grounded in our mission and vision and work in partnership for our students.”
