H.-3 20-2019 Decision Public Hearing: Adoption by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 2021-0125 - Approving Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools - Lodestar: A Lighthouse Community Public School - Petition and Proposed Charter - Grades K-12 - July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2023 (2 Year Renewal) and Written Findings In Support Thereof.
We're grateful to the OUSD Charter Management Board for advocating for a two-year renewal for our beloved school. The charter board saw us as we are: a loving and safe community dedicated to the growth and achievement of all of our students. We know we have important work to do and are working with a laser focus on ensuring equitable opportunities and equal and excellent outcomes for our Black students and our students with special needs. I know that we will continue our trajectory of growth and towards proficiency; all while ensuring that all of our community members are seen, loved, and know deeply that they belong.
Lodestar a sido uno de los mejores apoyos que ha tenido mi hija. Todos los maestros y el personal de la escuela son muy amables conmigo se comunican todo el tiempo y ella se siente muy cómoda en sus clases tiene la confianza de hablar con sus profesores y preguntarles lo que necesita nosotros habíamos estado en otras escuelas y la verdad es que ella no se sentía tan cómoda como en lodestar porfavor permitan que lodestar siga adelante con si gran labor
I want my kid to grow and learn in a better and more supportive environment. Like someone mentioned in the comments below, less crowded schools, means more learning and educational support for our kids.
Best school experience my kid could possibly have. EVEN now with distance learning. Comparing with co workers and family members whose kids attend other schools and other school districts, I’ve realized that Lodestar is exceeding their tasks as far as giving them assignments/classes AND support. As well as communicating with parents and I’m sure we’re ALL thankful for that.
It was my privilege to practice Pediatrics in Oakland for many years. I saw firsthand what a difference an individualized, supportive school environment can make for any child, but especially one who is struggling -- It can mean experiencing success instead of failure, in school and in life. I've volunteered with Lodestar Community Public School since its original charter because its teachers and staff are highly qualified and dedicated to the Oakland children and families they serve. Lodestar teachers and staff have worked hard to adapt quickly to the changing needs of the community. Especially now, during Covid, their commitment to students and families has been exemplary! I strongly support Charter renewal for both Lodestar and Lighthouse Schools!
Our children love lodestar charter school because is a great school with great teachers very professional stuff and very friendly environment of learning for the kids.
Lodestar is an exceptional school. I am extremely pleased at how the structure is at this school. The relationships between the school facility and the parents/students is far beyond what I had expected at this charter school.
Lodestar is a school that sees our children ability, not there disability. Where our children can lead there learning. Lodestar is community of children, parents and teachers striving everyday to provide a universal learning environment that is build on love, community, social justice and equity for all of our children. They have given parents the platform to have there voices be heard and included in the daily education of there students. I support the renewal of Lodestar.
Lodestar has been a great school for my son who is kinder. As a parent, I chose this school for many reasons. After watching my son engage with his teachers online, he is totally in love with them. My son is learning on zoom and the information is resonating. I want my son to have an education that leads him to believe in his vision, celebrate his identity, and make this world a more equitable place. The education he is recieving at his age, at Lodestar, shows me that it is possible. I've checked out multiple schools before landing on Lodestar. We are happy here and have no regrets. Thank you for your time and I hope the voices of our community lead to a renewal. I see the superintendant recommended a renewal for Lodestar, and I am excited for the future. Thank you again!
Thank you OUSD staff for your recommendation to renew Lodestar a a 2 year charter. Lodestar provides an environment that supports the mind, body and spirit of its students. The children receive individual and collective education which is conducive to their individual needs.
En nuestra comunidad necesitamos mas escuelas, escuelas donde los niños se sientan apoyados y entendidos y Lodestar provee lo que necesita mi hija, por favor darnos la oportunidad de demostrar nuestros valores y grandesas.
I would like to give special thanks to the superintendent and OUSD staff for recommending the renewal of Lodestar. My family is really happy and satisfied that our daughter can be sent to a school of our choice. Please approve our school. I like the fact that my daughter is happy in this school and is always ready to attend her classes with much enthusiasm. PLEASE APPROVE LODESTAR.
please let lodestar continue being a charter school and let us learn for our future in this world
