A longtime civic body at the heart of Oakland’s public schools, this board has helped shape district policy, budgets, and big decisions affecting students across the city. Its story is tied closely to the growth of Oakland Unified School District and the city’s wider public education history.

by Oakland (Calif.). Board of Education
This is not an individual author but a government body: the Board of Education for Oakland’s public school system. The current Oakland Unified School District describes the Board as the elected group that sets district policy, approves the budget, and makes major decisions for the school system.
Because this entry refers to an institution rather than a person, there is no conventional personal biography to give.
