However, clubs in general tend to lack monetary support which makes it difficult for them to thrive at school.

Students are constantly late due to the lack of parking. The only options are the surrounding neighborhood streets and theyŕe almost always full. What would help is if they changed the street cleaning times to after school or even have it on the weekend. Providing a student parking lot on or near campus would also be very beneficial. Passes or permits could be distributed to make the process easier.

Basically, we don't see any trash cans in the hallway. There are only trash cans seen in the cafeteria and on the field. And if students wants to throw away trash, they would have no where to put them. This caused littering and make the school environment worst.

    - There is not really that much security at Oakland tech. 
    - There are only two security guards for the entire school and the security cameras do not work that well.
    - To solve the problem, more security guards can be hired or install better camera surveillance.

    - shorten the school day
    - both issues relate to student stress levels and can be addressed on a local/district level

This makes it harder for U.S soldiers to make a living in the United States when they come back to their casual lives. 

    The level of Government I plan to address the issue is the federal government level.

    -Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf
    -rapidly increasing housing prices in oakland has led to the displacement of many people who had been oakland residents for many years, forcing them to live in the streets or cars. 
    - although there are a lot of apartment building that have been recently built that are mostly empty a ton of people still live on the streets

    → wednesdays off (study day)
    → have wednesdays as hands on field trip days

    • Gives students a break creating less stress & potentially more time for homework & higher interest in school
