Why Work at LCPS?

LCPS invests in our diverse teachers and staff.

Nearly 80% of LCPS staff identify as BIPOC

As an organization that has laid its roots among two growing schools in East Oakland, it is important for our students to know that they are being taught and led by people who look like them. It is also important for our staff to know they are being led by folks who value their identity and their hard work as educators in the community. In California overall, on average, 37% of teachers identify as BIPOC (BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color), while at LCPS, nearly 70% of teachers and 80% of all staff identify as BIPOC – with 45% identifying as Black or Latinx.
