The Oakland Unified School District school board, last night, voted to remove Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell at the end of the school year.
The board voted 4-1 in a closed session to dismiss Johnson-Trammell. School board vice-president Mike Hutchinson made the announcement of the superintendent’s dismissal shortly after the closed session. He cast the dissenting vote.
An Oakland native, Johnson-Trammell has held the job since 2017. Her termination comes less than a year after the board approved a three-year contract extension. Negotiations on a payout are expected to begin soon.
Hutchinson added that OUSD’s trustees will begin a search for a new superintendent on July 1st.
