The Oakland Children’s Initiative (Measure AA) is a 2018 Charter Amendment passed by the voters of Oakland to deepen our early investment in children and support them through college graduation, by dramatically expanding access to high quality preschool and providing college access, mentorship, and scholarship support services for students to obtain 4-year or 2-year college or technical degrees. It will leverage approximately $30 million in annual revenue to dramatically expand access to and the quality of preschool, as well as significantly increase college enrollment and college graduation rates. Approximately ⅔ of the funds raised by Measure AA will support early childhood education and approximately ⅓ of the funds will support college access and persistence support.
