Oakland - On Tuesday, April 27, exactly one month before the final day of the 2020-21 school year, a recognizable gray Amazon truck will be making several special deliveries at an OUSD school. The delivery driver will be meeting Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf to drop off three of the final devices from the first phase of the #OaklandUndivided (#OU) campaign.

On the one-year anniversary of school closures, #OaklandUndivided reached a major milestone of providing 25,000 permanent Chromebooks to students since the launch of the campaign last spring.

Oakland school leaders have officially handed out 25,000 free laptops to students so they can connect from home while continuing to practice distance learning. KCBS Radio's Carrie Hodousek has the story from Garfield Elementary School.

Oakland, CA – In less than ten months, the #OaklandUndivided team, school staff, and a cadre of volunteers have handed out almost 25,000 free computers to Oakland public school students at schools across the city.
