H.-2 20-2018 Decision Public Hearing: Adoption by the Board of Staff Report - Recommendations/Findings - Approving 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
As a supporter of Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools, I am writing to advocate for Lighthouse's charter renewal. This school provides a needed educational option and equitable and loving community for its students and families in East Oakland. In the midst of the COVID-19's peak earlier this year, I saw firsthand the earnest, unwavering commitment of the teachers and staff, working quickly and tirelessly (and who continue to do so!) to provide students with high-quality and stable learning experiences in an unparalleled time. Please renew the charter for this incredible school and its students and community.
As a family member to two longtime Lodestar/Lighthouse educators, I have seen firsthand the incredible devotion the entire organization has applied over many years to serving its community with rigorous, high-quality programs that meet the needs of each individual child. The results speak for themselves - one Lighthouse grad I recently had the pleasure of meeting is now thriving in law school and prepared to return back to his community to serve in a leadership role. More than just academics (where the school exceeds expectations), Lighthouse develops the student's whole person, inculcating lifelong values of justice, responsibility, and service. A generation of Lighthouse students has now passed through its doors, and hundreds have gone on to college and thriving adult lives. Please renew Lighthouse's charter and allow the next generation of devoted students and families the choice to learn and grow here.
Please renew lighthouse! This school has taught my child a alot and has made her feel welcomed... staff and teachers are great! Please keep the school open our kids deserve great school such as lighthouse!!
En realidad hace falta abrir escuelas no cerrar escuelas. No quiero que cierren la escuela porque todos mis hijos an atendido esta escuela y me gusta la manera que los apoyan y los enseñan. Aprenden mucho y los maestros son muy buenos y siempre apoyan
I teach at Lighthouse because our culture of love and rigor is present throughout the building and in every virtual space. Our leadership team constantly strives to do better for our students. As a teacher, I have been supported in my growth since day 1 and my students' growth reflects the support I've been given. Lighthouse is a phenomenal part of the Oakland community and deserves to have its charter renewed.
You shouldn't close lighthouse,Last year was tough but all the support am getting this years is really amazing thanks to the teachers there amazing so is my friends,There are really amazing memories that brought us thoughter fun,laughter I enjoyed it thanks but keep the school open!!
I'm a student at lighthouse. When I first came, I felt like It was gonna go bad for me, But with all the staff and teachers, I feel like home. I feel safe at lighthouse, I now know everything I wanted to learn thanks to the teachers that helped me. And you can't close this school because, If you do, Your breaking so many hearts and not all schools will accept 500 kids at once. Lighthouse is a family to many people! Keep lighthouse open! :)
I believe that Lighthouse is a great school that offers many learning opportunities for students and teachers. If Lighthouse closed we wouldn't have those kinds of opportunities available.
The people at Lighthouse are focused on supporting Oakland's children with the goal that every student graduate from college. I am impressed with the teacher coaching to support teachers in implementing high quality lessons grounded in research. Please keep lighthouse open.
