    It is critical that we extend the COVID leave for school teachers to ensure everyone’s safety. It isn’t acceptable to arbitrarily end COVID leave on Monday, when we are still living through a pandemic. If we truly care about the safety about our teachers, students, families, and communities, we MUST make it feasible for people to get tested when they have symptoms or when they test positive. Without COVID leave, teachers are unlikely to take their own sick days (which are very limited) to go get COVID tested, which could likely result in COVID spread if a teacher becomes infected. If a teacher has COVID, recovery or quarantine time will likely take longer than just 10 days. In short, it would be sentencing a teacher to use up all of their sick days in one go, and leave them with no options for if they get sick anytime during the rest of the year.

    I support OUSD renewing multi-year lease of Community School for Creative Education on 2111 International 2022-2026 with option to renew pending charter renewal.

    It is important that CSCE does not move location because its location on 2111 International allows students and their families to be close to school. Students at CSCE come from families facing many socio-economic challenges. CSCE is an asset to the community providing not only education but also community safety and social supports that can significantly affect the well being of students. Let's take care of the children and youth at CSCE and let CSCE serve them close to their homes. CSCE is an anchor for children, youth and their families! Please don't take this anchor away. Waldorf education is alignment of head, heart, and hands. I encourage you, decision makers, to please listen to the youth, parents, and guardians speaking from the CSCE community, and to listen with head, heart, and hands in alignment. Thank you

    Greetings, I join the CSCE community in asking for your support of renewing their lease at 2111 International. CSCE is a vital part of the San Antonio neighborhood, fostering a breadth of community and civic connections in their community school. When I was a Region 3 REXO, I remember CSCE sharing a facility at Howard at great hardship for their parent community which is based in the San Antonio and Fruitvale neighborhoods. As our communities emerge from a massive pandemic it is extraordinarily important to maintain the stability of school location for students and families. Thank you for fulfilling your responsibility to share public facilities with charter school communities and to the families of CSCE.

    I'm asking our Board of Directors to please allow Community School for Creative Education to stay at the facility where the school is located now. It will be devastating for the community, not only the families to see the school leaving the community. I hope this data would help you understand how important is this school for the community

    Hello, DIrectors,
    You have received many comments requesting renewal of CCSE's lease for multiple years. Please weigh the costs and benefits to OUSD in considering this request: Does it tie up property for which OUSD might have another use? Does it include additional consideration for the stability which CCSE is seeking? Has CCSE made any move to participate in the OUSD SELPA or otherwise expand its services to Students with Disabilities, a group which has tended to be disproprortionately underserved by the charter section. I hope you will examine these questions carefully in coming up with an arrangement which is of benefit to the OUSD students to whom you owe your fiduciary duty as well as the charter school coming before you to ask for a benefit. I ask that you similarly consider these questions on your other property item this evening. Thank you for your attention.
