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.
I support the lighthouse with my vote because is one of the best school in this area. Lighthouse school is super clean and the neighborhood like this school.
My son is currently in the 2nd grade at Lodestar and he's been a student there since Kinder. I had anxiety when it came to choosing a school for him for a few reasons: how his eczema flare ups would affect him during school, his food allergy, not to mention he had no daycare experience so him being away from home, I was extremely concerned! But I knew he needed to start his educational journey. A friend of mine mentioned how easy it was to sign up for a charter school (I had no idea there were so many!) but Lodestar stuck out to me because I've heard such great things about Lighthouse, and so we signed up. Before I knew it, it was his first day and I couldn't have been more proud. 2 years later and here we are. Despite the pandemic, the staff wholeheartedly believe in their students' future. They instill core values in our students (something I wish I had experienced growing up). I can go on but I only have 1000 characters to share so I have to keep this short.. We LOVE Lodestar!
Yo apoyo a la escuela lodestar charter, para q la renoven por que mis nietos estan muy contentos en esa escuela, porque todo el personal que elabora en dicha escuela son muy amables y me gustaria que mis nietos prosigan sus estudios ahi.
I strongly support Lodestar's charter renewal. Lodestar is one of the most innovative public schools that supports Oakland families to engage in academic rigor, design thinking through experiential learning and interdisciplinary study, and discover deep belonging. Please vote in support of Lodestar's charter renewal!
Hi as a parent of a lodestar student I greatly appreciate if they would approve our school this school is great in many ways they support and help our students become men and women of good . My daughter is a first grader and can't wait to be back in school to enjoy her teachers and classmates there she feels loved and welcomed.
Thank you !!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Lodestar. Both in terms of supporting the whole child and family but also education. It’s such a gift to have a K-12 school allowing for teacher and student continuity. My eldest was at Lighthouse for K-12 - he is a Junior at CCA from which is receiving a merit-based scholarship. This is a great legacy from which Lodestar stems. In my view, the Lodestar experience has been an even better one, with incredible synergy and connection between staff at all levels with the families. My younger son has never been happier or more successful at school than he is at Lodestar, including during this time of long distance learning. My son is excited to finally spend time in the brand new high school building when long distance learning ends.
Thank you OUSD officials.
All Lodestar staffs and teachers are so dedicated in helping each and every students academically and personally.
Lodestar is our children’s home. The children knows the value, integrity and the importance of Lodestar in our community. Please give us a chance, a chance of a lifetime for our children. Thank you!
Me orgullese la escuela lodestar por tener sus mejores maestros y maestras que están dedicados a mis tres hijos que ahí estudian por lo que como padre de familia solocito y deseo que la escuela siga abierta en ese lugar.
!! I support Lodestar's charter renewal!!! I’m a parent too a 7th grader at Loadstar my son has had academic growth in this school because of teachers and staff that care about my son education Loadstar is such an amazing school . Approve their charter renewal !!LOADSTAR!!!
Lodestar embodies the antiracist vision we all have for schools. They have a track record of recruiting and retaining teachers and leaders of color. They have a over representation of Black students and students with IEP's. They are serving families who have been historically denied access to quality education. They provide meaningful project based learning, differentiated academic supports, systematic literacy instruction, and culturally affirming programs. I am proud to send my son and daughter to this school and have confidence that the students and East Oakland community is better off because of the work of the Lodestar staff and community. I strongly encourage the board to approve the renewal of Lodestar Community Charter School. Thank you OUSD Charter Office for recommending renewal.
I support Lodestar's charter renewal. Im a parent to a 7th grade student that goes to Loadstar and proud of the academic growth my son has had becaues of the teachers and staff loadstar .

Please support charter renewal for Lodestar. This has been a wonderful & inclusive environment for my children and the teachers and parents have created a beautiful community despite the challenges we all face. Staff work with families for the best possible outcome for our kids. I have two sons at the school and I'm very grateful for being a part of this community.
Lodestar es una escuela muy buena, el ambiente es tranquilo y ayuda mucho a los niños en cualquier cosa, a mis hijos les encanta si escuela

Thank you to the Office of Charter Schools for the recommendation for renewal of our charter. Lodestar is more than just a school, it is a homeplace and a family for our students. Staff works as a team to support students holistically and provide them with rigorous, social justice focused curriculum. Families are seen as equal partners and work with the teachers to provide the best supports for our students. Please listen to the voices of students, families, and staff and renew our charter.
My name is Annick, I'm a 5th grader at Lodestar. I support Lodestar because the teachers are amazing and they help their students in any way they can, it's also a loving community! Please re-new Lodestar and Lighthouse!
