Extends Alder teacher residency partnership to 2027; Alder pays the district up to $5,450 per resident

This amendment extends the district's agreement with the Alder Graduate School of Education for the Oakland Teacher Residency from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2027. Alder contributes toward the district's partner director position, up to $5,450 per enrolled resident, for up to 30 residents, with a minimum enrollment of 18. The board memo puts the district's own cost at approximately $60,000. The enrollment commitment for 2027-2028 is to be confirmed by October 1, 2026, subject to Board approval.

Corrected Oct 4, 2026: Corrected: the $5,450 per resident is a contribution Alder pays to the district, not a district expense.

Discrepancy from the official text. The text calls the $5,450 per enrollee the "Alder's Partner Director (i.e.., District's) Contribution" without saying who pays; the attached agreement shows Alder pays it to the District. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)
