Burglars broke into a new independent Oakland high school and stole equipment just a month before opening day.
"It's a jewel that got robbed, so to hear that everything got taken just broke our hearts," said Cesar Cruz, principal of the Freedom School for Homies Empowerment near 90th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard.
"It's a very disheartening situation that happened," said Rubi Pelayo, the school's director of operations. "It's very sad, but we will not be focusing on the negatives of it.""Whether we have computers here or not, whether we have windows busted or not, we're going to start," said G. Reyes, school designer and a Cal State East Bay professor.Reyes said someone also broke into the school's shed Wednesday morning.
