This year, BOSS helped to secure $2.3 million in funding to go towards Restorative Justice programs and developed an approved school board complaint policy for Oakland Unified School District school police and security guards. Over the next year, with a one year $25,000 renewal grant from Hazen, BOP will organize students and parents to decrease spending for police and increase student support services in Oakland schools for the 2016-17 year.
