Oakland school board hopefuls stunned to learn they’re ineligible: ‘This is outrageous’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:58:08 GMT

OAKLAND — The candidates running for an Oakland school board seat this November were aware of the stakes: Winning the race would give one of them unique sway over the district’s future via a crucial swing vote on the often-deadlocked board.But what they were stunned to learn Thursday is that, due to an error by the city clerk’s office in setting the voting boundaries, neither is in fact eligible to run for the seat — and it’s possible there won’t be an election at all.City officials were scrambling to figure out on Thursday how to remedy the screw-up after it was pointed out to them by one of this news organization’s opinion columnists.It is just the latest election debacle to play out in Oakland, a city that in the past year has been plagued by an incorrectly called school board race, controversy around the ranked-choice voting rules in the mayoral election and inaccurate filing deadlines for candidates.“Hopefully it’s not impos...

Saints QB Carr getting to know new teammates better with cross-country trip

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:58:08 GMT

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Even though Derek Carr continues to get acclimated playing for his new team, Thursday seemed like old times for the veteran quarterback.Carr was back on the West Coast and going against an AFC West defense as the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers went through the first of two days of joint practices.“This is a great group to compete against. They’ve got some great defensive backs and schematically they match up well,” said Carr, who signed with the Saints during the offseason. “I thought we got to work on some tight window throws.”The practice ended up being a mixed bag of results for Carr and the first team offense. Receivers Chris Olave and Michael Thomas made some nice catches, but Carr often found himself under pressure as the offensive line had trouble containing edge rushers Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa.Carr played one series in last Sunday’s preseason opener against Kansas City, but he considers the joint workouts to be more beneficial.“In the...
