20-2018 Submission Public Hearing by the Board of Education of Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools - Lighthouse Community Charter School - Petition and Proposed Charter - Grades K-8 - July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2026 (5 Year Renewal).
I support the renewal of Lighthouse school . I have seen that teachers and all student support services don't want to give up on working with students from challenging backgrounds . They are always innovating new methods to meet the needs of students and families. People are very focused on building healthy relationships with students to help them be equipped with tools to succeed.
Lighthouse is a school where children feel empowered to meet the high expectations set for them. As a teacher, I too feel empowered to engage with families to create an environment where students can thrive. I feel so lucky to be working at a school like Lighthouse alongside so many brilliant educators. Every student at Lighthouse is valued and embraced. This school is an asset and should remain a choice for families in East Oakland.
For nearly 20 years, Lighthouse Community Public Schools have been a beacon for public education where each graduate fulfills the promise of a better, brighter Oakland. Our schools are innovative models for public education that puts each child at the center of their own learning, and our results speak to our success. During the pandemic, Lighthouse has made sure, all students had the technology, internet, food, and support, to stay engaged, in distance learning!!! Fundraising also was increased to provide needy families with cash assistance!
Lighthouse has earned a 5-year extension on its Charter Renewal, and I support them 100%.
Lighthouse deserves to stay open. As a teacher I have seen the dedication, commitment to high quality education, and passion from all of the students, families, and staff. Lighthouse is a school where everyone is committed to doing their best, and what is best for our students.
La escuela se debe de mantenerse abierta por que es una buena escuela. Donde mi hijo a estado por 7 años. Como padre me gustaría que mi hijo se graduara de Lighthouse ya que considero que la escuela es una de las mejores escuelas que hay en Oakland. Siempre a sido muy entregada en la educación de sus estudiantes en todos los aspectos. Por favor mantengan Lighthouse abierta no solo por mi hijo, si no también por otras generaciones que le siguen y que merecen una buena educación.
I've been fortunate to witness up-close the Lighthouse Community Public Schools staff as they work tirelessly for students. They care deeply. They demand rigor because they believe profoundly in the power of education. This dedicated group of educators creates conditions for more Oakland children to thrive and have incredibly bright futures.
Please, keep Lighthouse open... My brother went to lighthouse for 13 years and got the education he needed to attend a university. My son has been in lighthouse for 7 years now and he deserves to have the same education as my brother did. Lighthouse has been part of my family’s life for 17 years. throughout those years I had the pleasure to meet amazing teachers and staff, who are always there trying to help and support their students and families in every way they can. If lighthouse is closed you would be taken an important support of my child’s future and education.PLEASE, KEEP LIGHTHOUSE COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL OPEN!!!!!
As a relatively new teacher at Lighthouse, I feel very privileged to be part of such an outstanding educational program. I truly love the curriculum and the community based way in which we operate. I have been teaching for 20 years and I am continually impressed by the level of professionalism and dedication of our entire staff. Our students and families know we are here for them! Please Renew Lighthouse!!
I support Lighthouse charter school to keeps its doors open. My child and her classmates will agree and share the same desire on the schools positive energy and amazing learning technics. I also like the great communication and involvement the teachers and office directors show every individual student and family in Lighthouse. The moment you step into Lighthouse charter school building you can feel the positive vibes in the air everyone from the person behind the desk to the family member that's dropping off there kid has a smile on there face. Lighthouse is an amazing school and my kid loves it and will be really sad to see it close down. My child has been attending Lighthouse for 4 years and seen her enjoy her learning habits taught throw out the years and shes always happymon going to school.As a father that's really involve on my child academic work the teachers make it really easy on communicating on the progress and future process of my child's learning growth.Go Lighthouse!
Students need consistency with all that is going on and the lost these children and families have endured; they should at least be able to remain in a space of familiarity.
I know the board should keep it open because i grew up their and i won't want my second home and it has taught me everything i learned and when i fell behind they taught me until i got everything and thats why i know Lighthouse Charter School should stay open.
Yo apoyo lighthouse porque me gusta mucho la manera en que son tratados los estudiantes y también las familias. Yo estoy muy contenta con lighthouse también porque me gusta el nivel académico que la escuela a mantenido por años. Yo tengo 3 hijos y los tres han comenzado sus estudios en esta escuela, me gusta porque el número de estudiantes por aula es limitado por lo tanto, los alumnos reciben mayor atención y me gusta que cuando pasa algo en la escuela, de inmediato nos lo hacen saber a los los padres y también con los maestros hay muy buena comunicación. Por favor les suplico y le permitan continuar operando Lighthouse otros 5 años más.
A mi me gusta la escuela porque hay mucha ayuda para los niños y casi todos mis hijos an estado en esa escuela. Todos mis hijos an tendido la ayuda y atención que necesitan gracias a esta escuela
Lighthouse is a school that strives everyday to provide rigorous learning and a safe haven for all learners. As an educator at the school, I can vouch for the high expectations required of teachers everyday. We work extremely hard to provide high quality, student-centered, unbiased, and differentiated education for every one of our students. Please allow us to continue to serve Oakland in the way the is has faithfully served for the past 20 years. We recognize we are not perfect, and we are open to work to evolve into the best school that we can be for Oakland students.
Please keep this school open
