Dec. 5: Oakland Superintendent Tony Smith's vision of "full-service community schools" is taking shape on some campuses, thanks to a school-based health center initiative that has picked up steam since 2008.

Oakland Unified's 12th health center opened recently at Skyline High School. The Native American Health Center will operate services at the clinic, which includes two medical exam rooms, a laboratory and three confidential consultation rooms. The renovations were funded by a 2006 school bond measure and seed money from a 2008 Kaiser Permanente donation. Atlantic Philanthropies also donated millions to the districtwide effort.
