Parent praises Lighthouse School in public comment, highlights volunteer support and charter partnership
Summary
A parent described an 11-year family history with the Lighthouse School charter and thanked the district for supporting alternative programs, noting extensive volunteer efforts and community benefits.
During public comment on Oct. 13, a parent and longtime volunteer described her family's experience with the Lighthouse School charter and urged the district to continue supporting the program.
The speaker said her son began kindergarten 11 years ago and has thrived in the Waldorf-inspired program, which was housed in a middle-school wing before the charter secured a district site. She recounted thousands of volunteer hours by families to prepare the school's facilities, praised teachers and staff for their dedication and listed multiple volunteer roles she has held, including chairing the parent organization and teaching electives.
Why it matters: The comment emphasized that alternative programs such as the Lighthouse School meet needs for students who do not fit a single instructional model and commended the district for enabling diverse educational options through charters and partnerships.
No formal action or vote was taken on the comment.
