==Education==
Although Oak View is located within the Ojai Valley, the town itself is located within the boundaries of the [[Ventura Unified School District]].  There is one school in Oak View, Arnaz Elementary (aka, Sunset Elementary), which is located on the south western portion of the town, at 400 Sunset.  Previously, two schools served the town. However, Oak View Elementary School, located between Prospect Street and Valley Road, and between Mahoney Avenue and Santa Ana Boulevard [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Oak+View+Elementary+School/@34.399385,-119.3051468,19z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x80e9af5d77c4edeb:0x3277f4744b0ae326!2s48+Mountain+View+St,+Oak+View,+CA+93022!3b1!8m2!3d34.4013733!4d-119.3026474!3m4!1s0x0:0x567c68ab0eadd0e7!8m2!3d34.3994406!4d-119.304836!6m1!1e1 (Click here to see the Google map of the former Oak View Elementary]), previously owned by the Ventura Unified School District (VUSD), was closed by the district.  The County considered selling the property to a housing developer who planned to build a high-density development (up to 33 houses) meant to serve low-income owners / renters.  Instead, on August 2, 2002, the Oak View District was formed to purchase and rehabilitate the Oak View School for a community park and family resource center. A successful local ballot initiative was passed, which places a parcel tax assessment on a selected number of Oak View residential property owners, within a designated 'beneficial' distance from the school.  The yearly tax has helped to pay down the long-term (30-year) purchase of the school from the VUSD by the County. You'll find an LA TImes article on this purchase here: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-apr-26-me-library26-story.html. The former school property was renamed, "The Oak View Park and Resource Center" (http://www.ovparc.org) and the District maintains the property and manages both non-profit and for-profit organizations that serve the community.<ref>{{cite web|title=Oak View School Preservation and Maintenance District|department=Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2009-10|publisher=[[County of Ventura]]|url=http://bosagenda.countyofventura.org/sirepub/view.aspx?cabinet=published_meetings&fileid=591938|access-date=13 March 2019|archive-date=2019-03-13|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190313181902/http://bosagenda.countyofventura.org/sirepub/cache/2/b53wtqtpovngxgoatrpa0z4d/5919380313201911190254.PDF}}</ref> The Distric continues to operate under the administrative oversight of Ventura County, with regular activities such as preparing Engineer's Reports and holding public hearings (https://bosagenda.countyofventura.org/sirepub/agdocs.aspx?doctype=agenda&itemid=92359).
