The Oakland Unified school board closed its meeting to the public a second time after protesters turned out in force.
A dispute over district plans to merge two schools continues amid a district announcement that it will allow affected students to go to other schools.
Board agrees to close two schools and merge them with two others, expand another school, and invest in redesigning an elementary school.
Oakland Unified School board expects to vote on second round of school closures, consolidations and expansions on Sept. 11.
