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 like how Lighthouse doesn't let anyone fall behind, the teachers are always supportive and will help you even if it means taking time out of their day and there are many other resources given for the help you need. I also like how there are many programs and opportunities given to the students at Lighthouse to find their interests and be more engaged, along with the school being able to help with applying for scholarships. The graduation rates and the rates for students who actually attend college at Lighthouse are also really high, which is something my parents are really happy about.
Require that Lighthouse and Lodestar join the OUSD SELPA as a condition of renewal. As you know, the charter community doesn't take the same percentage of students with special needs that our district takes, especially those with moderate to severe needs. This disparity costs the district millions of dollars; an amount that could be reduced if the charters paid into the OUSD SELPA. Why should a charter school not pay its fair share of special education costs? Have the charters sign an MOU that they will join our SELPA.
I am writing to support Lighthouse K-8 school for Charter Renewal for another 5 years. Lighthouse is committed to providing the best education for all its students, treating each person as unique and valuable individuals and focusing on individual needs. Lighthouse provides a rigorous academic experience, celebrates and honors diversity, and is supportive of families, especially during these challenging times. This is my first year teaching at Lighthouse (15th year teaching in Oakland) and I am continually impressed with how hard and smart the staff works together. The school is committed to social justice, actively uses data to guide instruction, and is resiliently working together as a school-wide team to support students and families. The data also shows that the school is excelling while preparing students for college and careers. The Lighthouse community is strong and has earned the rights for a Charter renewal.
Soy un papa orgulloso de dos estudiantes de Lighthouse. Queremos que se renueve el contrato, quiero que mis hijos sigan teniendo tanto exito como asta ahora. Gracias
I like how Lighthouse really prepares you for college and gives you the support to be able to attend college. So many high schoolers have already graduated and are succeeding in college. My mom chose this school for me because she wanted the best education for me and to attend college later in the future. Its strengths is that they really care about the students and their careers. They don't let bad things happen to us, they don't allow fights, they prepare us for college,etc.

I like lighthouse because it has been like a second home to me, since I've been enrolled there since kindergarten and have known many people there especially my friends. Not only that but the teachers are dedicated to help students and keep the class fun and safe, so please allow my school to stay open.
