OAKLAND — At first, they struggled a bit with her long last name. “Welcome, Superintendent Johnson…Trammell,” greeted a chorus of about 30 students in LaTasha Ellison’s fourth grade class at Hoover Elementary in West Oakland. The students were the first to be visited by Kyla Johnson-Trammell since being selected as the top pick for Oakland’s next superintendent of schools. She came to the school Thursday afternoon to read to students as part of Asian-American Literature Read-In Week.

The Oakland school board made the announcement Wednesday night that Trammell, a long-standing educator and leader in Oakland public schools, is their choice to assume the role of superintendent July 1, pending completion and signing of her contract, “I’m very happy to be here this afternoon,” she said to the kids with a big smile,  “I’m from Oakland actually myself, and I was a student in the Oakland kate silk and lace christening booties by adore baby. baptism shoes. baby ballet shoes. public schools myself, And I was a teacher and principal at the Oakland public schools, so I’m very honored to be one of your leaders.”..

Johnson-Trammell, who has been serving as the district’s interim deputy superintendent of academic and social emotional learning since the beginning of February, succeeds Antwan Wilson, who departed in January after two years at the helm to take a job as chancellor of Washington, D.C. schools. After the community rallied for months for a candidate who had shown a long-standing commitment to the Oakland public schools, it finally got its wish. Born and raised in East Oakland, Johnson-Trammell has been a fierce advocate for Oakland public schools, having attended Montclair Elementary and Montera Middle School.

She has had more than 18 years of service at the Oakland school district and urban communities, according to the district, She has served kate silk and lace christening booties by adore baby. baptism shoes. baby ballet shoes. as an elementary school teacher, middle school assistant principal and elementary school principal, and then worked her way up to the district’s director of talent development, associate superintendent for leadership, curriculum and instruction and elementary network superintendent, After reading a selection from Laurence Yep’s “The Dragon Prince: A Chinese Beauty & the Beast Tale,” she fielded a number of questions from inquisitive fourth graders..

“How does it feel?” asked one of the students. “It feels awesome,” she said. “There’s lots to do, but it’s an amazing opportunity and blessing to serve the city of Oakland.”. “But isn’t it stressful?” asked a boy right afterward. “Yes,” she said. “Yes. Most things that give you amazing opportunity usually have some elements of stress,”. “Like the Warriors are probably stressed, right now,” she said, making a reference to city’s beloved Golden State Warriors, who are about to compete in the NBA Western Conference finals. “But it’s an amazing opportunity at the same time.”.

She also explained to the kids, who asked about her background, that when she was a student in Oakland, she didn’t know that she’d one day lead the same schools she grew up in, “But sometimes your passion will lead you to something you didn’t know you wanted to do,” kate silk and lace christening booties by adore baby. baptism shoes. baby ballet shoes. she said, explaining to the kids that when she was younger she taught piano lessons, dance and tutored kids reading, “I’m excited and ready to get to work,” she told reporters after the read-a-thon event, “It’s a great opportunity, and there’s a lot to do and I’m ready to galvanize both the leaders within the system and the city in order to address many of the challenges that we have.”..

She says she is in the process of “studying and researching” how to handle the challenges to come, including a more than $20 million budget shortfall at the district, but she wanted to make “strong evidence-based” decisions on how to handle these challenges. Yet, as a third-generation educator, “education runs in my blood,” she said. And she sees herself as a “creative problem-solver” who believes in the importance of working collaboratively. And as someone who started off as a teacher in East Oakland’s Parker Elementary, who has even has gone through the pain of being “pink-slipped” with a layoff notice, her view is that her job is to help teachers teacher and students get a quality education.

That is, the role of the central office is “how do we get things out of the way so that teachers can teach — that is our kate silk and lace christening booties by adore baby. baptism shoes. baby ballet shoes. core responsibility,” she said, Ellison said that she loved the fact that the new superintendent is from Oakland, and that her students did, too, “It’s nice to have someone who actually knows the city and knows its ups and downs,” she said, Her student, Destiny Johnson, 9, agreed, “I feel really happy because I think she’s going to make a change…so kids can get educated,” she said, “We weren’t getting stuff we needed before, But now I think, when she’s here, she’s going to care more and get the stuff we need, like more supplies and more classrooms.”..
