    Thanks for renewing Lodestar because a year ago I was hospitalized for about 3 moths and when I got back, Lodestar gave me the support that I needed the teacher took their time to help me catch up to my peers.

    Hello I am Nathaly Luna Carrillo. I have been at Lodestar for 3 years and the the 3 amazing years that I have been there are great. When I First came to lodestar I felt like I was not going to be welcomed but it was the opposite. I was welcomed like I have been there for ever most of my friends have been longer than me or we entered together. I want new kids to get the same experience to be welcomed with open arms like they belong. I went through a rough year this year and all my friends and teachers were there to support me and by my side. Lodestar treats all there kids the same because we are a community full love, integrity and agency.

    Hello my name is Marla and I believe that the charter should be renewed because my autistic daughter has thrived and received love and support from both administrators and teachers. My daughter was pushed out of OUSD and Lodestar welcomed her in and her IEP reflects autism which the district refused to do. Lodestar has supported my family through many things and they deserve to be renewed. Lodestar love.

    I appreciate the OUSD staff's recommendation that the Lodestar charter be renewed. As a Lodestar staff member, I see the direct impact this school has and continues to have on our families. The commitment of Lodestar to serve Sobrante Park and its neighboring communities is unquestionable. I support the renewal of this charter so that our work can continue. East Oakland need schools that are dedicated to lifting up families and giving hope to a brighter future. Please renew our charter.

    We researched middle schools across the city and visited no less than 10 schools, district and charter, and Lodestar BY FAR offered the best program for our children. The quality of instruction, the dedication of the leadership, the positivity of the culture and the high level of competency and care were far above every other school we visited, and our experience over the past 2.5 years as school parents have confirmed our choice. We are grateful for the opportunity to have a strong quality public charter school option in our neighborhood in deep East Oakland. We are involved in school family activities and appreciate the many other families that demonstrate their love for the school by giving time to school activities. Lodestar is not perfect but we trust the leadership deeply, they have very high integrity and commitment and always do their best. They handled the pandemic remote learning situation with grace and a laser focus on student learning. Please renew!

    I really appreciate OUSD staff and superintendent for recommending Lodestar School renewal. It makes my family so happy that we're so close to being renewed and finally approved for two more years. Of course, I support the renewal as it brings lots of peace of mind because I can continue to send my daughter to a school of our choice. PLEASE approve us. Our kids deserve a school where they receive lots of support academically and emotionally.

    I know that Lodestar is a place that my daughters both with IEP's feel integrated, accepted and impower. At this time both are on path for a diploma in 2024. I believe in Lodestar that I want other student in our community to experience the same. I thank you for the opportunity and hope you are part of a yes vote for our student to continue thriving.
