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
I would like to show support for LHCC. I have several friends whose children attend and they show so much potential. I have seen the great things this school can do and it is producing some great students much like comparative regular non-charter OUSD school. This bright example of a school should not be shut down. If it is closed OUSD would lose one great school and students would lose many opportunities.
As a community service worker I interact with a lot of students from lighthouse. I am always highly impressed by how intellectually advanced they are and how well they are developed. I have investigated the school and I see that they have come a long way since their inception and are truly doing great things for the community and the students. It would be a shame to see this school close and I hope that the school board members decide to renew this charter school. I am so pleased by the little learners that are produced from the advanced learning and education that is offered. It would be a shame to see them go away.
As a parent I truly hope the School Board renews this charter school for 5 more years. My son is excelling and is excited to be in school each day. He does not miss a class and he loves his teachers. This has never been the case. He finally found a school he connects with and gives him the help he needs. Please I beg you to keep this school open for his sake and the other kids who are thriving and learning so much from the hardworking staff. LHCC has found a way to actively and positively engage the students so they are truly involved and learning. My son has better grades, attendance, and feedback than any other time in his schooling. The assignments are helping him to move forward academically and with real success. This school is in the heart of East Oakland and service the needy community members like myself and my son who deserve a school like this. My daughter is waiting to attend next year and I do not want either of their dreams deflated. Please keep LHCC open. Humbly, Binta.
I am asking that you please grant the renewal for our schools. As previously stated, my name is Sandra Dueñas Cuevas a 44 year resident of Oakland. I am a proud founding Parent of Lighthouse Community Charter School. As parents we want the best education for our children. I have experienced that the Charter School I’ve chosen is good path to success. We wanted to see our children succeed and graduate from college we believe our kids deserved the best education, and to this day three out of my four children have graduated from Lighthouse and have been successful. Attended College (Dominican, UCLA and San Jose State) We are grateful of Lighthouse for its way of preparing each student to success and the continued support into college. We have a 14 year old attending Lighthouse.

I enthusiastically support renewing LIGHTHOUSE Community Charter School. The environment is full of passionate, innovative and action-oriented leaders across all positions. Their leadership and community care about the children and families that attend and are continuing to make strides- in he areas that are going well, they are continuing to work for even more progress. In the areas that need some more attention or growth, they are doing the same. Lighthouse is a forward-thinking school and their actions are bold and relentless. Please renew their charter so the efforts for our children and families can continue!
Hola estoy orgullosa de lighthouse porque es la mejor a mis hijos le a ayudado muchísimo y a mi me encanto desde que me hablaron de la escuela traté de aplicar hasta que logré que entraran mis dos hijos es la mejor escuela
We beseech you to support the Lighthouse and Lodestar schools!!! Hundreds of young Oakland students, especially in the Fruitvale neighborhood, absolutely depend upon this amazing learning community! I have 2 kids in Lighthouse — one sophomore and one 2nd grader. I also have a Lighthouse alumnus in the family who is currently at UC Santa Cruz. Lighthouse and Lodestar’s commitment to our kids is exceptional. We rely on these institutions to teach, feed, care for and build up our kids! Lighthouse and Lodestar prepare our kids for college and life. We love Lighthouse and Lodestar!

Lighthouse is very important in our community. Please keep it open. Closing it would create a major setback for Oakland.
This school has to be open for another 5 years this school is so good. Kids learn a lot form this school and it will be nice to see it run longer
