    I left a school that I worked for my entire career (5 years at the time) to come to Lodestar. The vision, action, and love that existed in this community was unprecedented. This is my second year at the school and I never regret the decision to come here. I plan to work at Lodestar for many years to come. I have never seen a school collectively work as hard as I have seen the teachers, admin, families, and students at Lodestar work. I understand that not all charter schools are fulfilling their promises and that there can be a problematic and even corrupt nature to the very existence of charter schools. But I am certain that Lodestar provides the highest quality educational experience a school can provide regardless of whether or not we are a charter. We have so many data points to celebrate and so much growth to continue. Please renew our charter. Our babies deserve us and we deserve them. We are effectively serving each other and deserve the opportunity to continue.

    Hello my name is Irving I love lodestar because the teachers are great at teaching us. It’s important to me that Lodestar stays open because it’s a great school. I’m asking you to renew our schools charter because if are school closes we are going to have to move to a new school that I would not feel as safe at.

    I support Lodestar because lodestar has a great education. My evidence is Lodestar isn't very easy to get into meaning that many students are in the waiting list and since Lodestar is such a greatschool.In conclusion I believe lodestar should not be get shut down.

    Hi, I am a 7th grader at Lodestar. Reasons why I think you should let Lodestar have its charter renewed is because I feel safe at the school because people are nice and help you when you need it. Another reason is mostly everyone is your friend and we're like a family. The last thing I will like to say is that this school is that they make you feel prepared. Also it's easy to understand our classes better and they think about your future and sometimes is hard to think about that.
