Oakland Unified Staff Data #6

Oakland Unified's HR department strives to find, keep and grow extraordinary adults who are committed to providing incomparable instruction, services and schools for Oakland’s children. However; without data to speaking to who the successful employees are and where they come from, it is difficult to ensure OUSD is providing students with the most effective adults possible.

OUSD is building systems and processes around data to help better answer strategic questions about our staff. Even before larger data clean-up efforts are finished, though, there is data that that can be used to learn more about OUSD staff right now.

This linked data set includes non-identifiable data about active employees; including bargaining unit, ethnicity, age, zip code, and hire date. Can you help dig deeper into this data to learn more about OUSD staff? Particularly interesting is place-based analysis related to questions like the following:

-Do more administrators or teachers live here in Oakland? -Are there differences in where new employees live compared to our veteran employees? -Are there any other trends you can identify?
