20-2019 Submission Public Hearing by the Board of Education of Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools - Lodestar: A Lighthouse Community Public School - Petition and Proposed Charter - Grades K-12 - July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2023 (2 Year Renewal).
I have saw tremendous growth in the lives of my nephews from attending Lodestar and I would love to attend their high school graduation.
Keep Lodestar open!!!
My two cousins attend Lodestar Charter and they absolutely love the school. It is close to their neighborhood and has helped to promote their independence. They both have grown so much in this learning environment. The fact that they have the opportunity to grow with this community until high school graduation gives them something to look forward to as well as keeping them on track. Not having to change schools and learn new processes and procedures makes their actual learning time increase instead of taking time for faculty and staff get to know new students learning process and vice versa.
We vote to keep Lodestar open
Lodestar is a pillar of the community. They serve their students and families with passion and a commitment to deliver the best educational experience possible. The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest disruption and threat to quality education that this generation will ever face. We need schools like Lodestar that have stepped up to fill the gap and ensure that students keep learning.
As an Oakland resident we support the Lodestar family and we are in full support of the charter renewal. My son has grown tremendously with the partnership we've developed with Lodestar. I couldn't ask for a more dedicated team of educators and individuals that rally around my son and other students and the level of community, love, support and examples they provide is immeasurable. KEEP LODESTAR OPEN!
The team at Lodestar is incredibly committed to all of their students, families, and staff, since its founding and through the pandemic especially. I was very impressed by the administration's response at the start of COVID, prioritizing meeting families' basic needs and building deeper connections with families by phone and video chat. That strong foundation allowed Lodestar to ensure that our families had the technology and support they needed so the school could continue to provide a robust academic program at a distance. In addition, prior to COVID, the Operations team has worked hard to reduce traffic concerns by modifying the school campus and keeping staff and families updated and deeply involved in traffic abatement (carpooling, biking, walking, and making the drop-off and pick-up process a well-oiled and speedy machine). Lodestar has become an integral part of the Sobrante Park community, with loving and rigorous instruction, and they should continue to be allowed to do so.
I support Lodestar's two year renewal. They offer exceptional education and the way they operate is beyond any other school in Oakland has offered my children. I have children in both district and Charter. I love the way they operate as a family and treat all students with respect. My daughter Anai Lemus has been a student at Lodestar for two years and she loves it there. Please renew Lodestar for another two years.
Lodestar has been a true learning community for my son. I am more than happy to support this charter so that Lodestar may continue to grow, educate, and produce wonderful and impactful learners.
I highly support the 2 year renewal of Lodestar k-12 school. I am the proud father of Anai Lemus, a 7th grader at Lodestar Middle School. My daughter struggled throughout all her years at Elementary. She worked hard but never really managed to get up to grade level. Lodestar middle has done a tremendous job from the very first year. Lodestar's team of hardworking and dedicated staff has managed to get my daughter past being at grade level to making the schools honor roll. I am extremely thankful and amazed at the work of all the teachers and staff. They seem to love their work and share that passion with the students. They are attentive and know each child's particular strengths and weaknesses and they use that to help each individual student. Lodestar has small classes and great teachers. Please renew Lodestars two year extension. Students in this neighborhood deserve a quality education which Lodestar can provide.
Me and my family loves Lodestar and want to keep it open for our children. Lodestar has given my children support in any way they can and my children loves their school teachers are very supportive and very easy to reach anytime.
The Lighthouse schools have been instrumental in the development of my son. He would not have recorded the attention and educated in the way that we believe if it were not for Lighthouse charters, most especially Lodestar.
I am a 4th grade student at Lodestar. I love my school because it is really diverse and is unique. The teachers look like me, they are nice and help me when I need support. I love learning at Lodestar. My friends are great and we did lunch bunch. The campus is special and I like how we have so many teachers who help us. Please keep Lodestar open.
