    I fully support Lighthouse. They provide an exceptional service not only to their students, but the community of Oakland. To endanger the future of 1500 young people is abhorrent given the current climate, and a great disservice to many local families. Do the right thing, support lighthouse and support our community

    I am in full support of Lighthouse Schools staying open. Not only are they providing an excellent education but the warmth, the care and the commitment from all the teachers and leadership team to provide for these children is beyond anything I have ever see. I beg you to keep these schools open. This is our home.

    I feel that the Lighthouse is providing a device to the community that will be lost if it’s charter is not renewed
    They are serving kids that desperately need their services

    I enthusiastically support the expansion of enrollment, and the revision of lottery practices in order to meet the needs of the community of East Oakland. LCPS is an excellent school with programs to support our most vulnerable students.

    Lighthouse K-8 has consistently delivered for students and families, graduating students and seeing them to and through college and career, and this material revision will allow them to serve a population of students most underserved in our city's schools and serve more families wanting access to high quality education options in East Oakland.

    I support this revision because more students and families need access in their neighborhood to the K-12, college preparatory education provided by Lighthouse.

    Lighthouse has served Oakland students and families for almost 2 decades with strong college and career outcomes for our students. We are home grown and rooted in Oakland. Please approve these material revisions to allow us to continue serving Oakland's most vulnerable and historically underserved students.

    I oppose the increase in enrollment for any charter school when OUSD has been closing and consolidating district schools.
