    I want them to keep the school open because it is a good school and so that people could at least finish there middle school years or high school years in lighthouse if this is the school they wanted to finish in.

    Hello !
    My son attends Lighthouse in Oakland. This his first year as a kinder student. I fully support Lighthouse being renewed. Distant Learning has come with some challenges. But the staff, and the support at lighthouse has been phenomenal. The teachers are compassionate, and my son is were he should be in his learning blocks. The special education team, has also been a great help to my son. I want my son to graduate from Lighthouse, as a senior and go on to a 4 year college. I believe this possible, renew lighthouse and help all our kids achieve their goals.

    I have seen much despair in Oakland, but Lighthouse brings much hope for the future of our children. Even parents are thriving from the learning and support Lighthouse offers. I have fought for many of the OUSD schools and this is one I will continue to fight for as well. I have seen them go from subpar to an excellent source of education, learning, student support, and creating amazing opportunities for advancement for our students from poor and underserved communities. Their diversity is growing and their success is expanding. To cut them down now would be a grave mistake. Please keep this school open and thriving for everyone in Oakland to see that we do have many examples of school success and positive student learning. You guys have been doing a great job at advancing OUSD schools and this should be one that continues to receive your attention and support. Thank you sincerely!

    LHCC is such an important school for these kids that I cannot imagine why anyone would advocate for it to be closed. They do such great things for the kids and I support the Board approving them for 5 more years.

    I stand by my statement that this school needs to stay open and is vital to our community. Even now as we struggle through distance learning and COVID, this school still excels and is creating creative and successful students. This school is meeting standards and moving up in ranking for testing, high attendance, and low suspension rates. Please give the a chance at 5 more years and beyond. Many blessings.

    Please do not close this vital school. They are proving they can get the job done in teaching and educating our children which is not an easy job nowadays. To close this school would be a bad idea for the district, community, and students.

    Teachers and workers make every effort working hard to teach and educate our children. They maintain a healthy and safe environment in the villages. Lighthouse offers us a lot of help. as in special education and its philosophy of No Child is left behind. They are always concerned with keeping their students at a high academic level. Also for parents they inform us about the activities of the day and future. They offer us support in educational workshops. How to help and understand our children. How to help them with their homework and even how to check their grades on the computer and many other things that I would never finish writing. I definitely want my daughter to graduate in five years from Lighthouse community charter school. I am satisfied in the effort they make to maintain a good school and that they care about our community by supporting us so that our children have a successful future.
