Ratifies $25,000 for Elevate Oakland's artists-in-residence music program at Elmhurst United Middle

Elevate Oakland brings an Artists in Residence program into the existing instrumental music classes at Elmhurst United Middle School, covering instruments such as guitar, drums, brass and violin, plus vocals. It provides 250 to 300 hours of instruction to 100 to 150 students from September 2023 to May 2024. The work began before the board's vote, so this is an after-the-fact approval.
