To the council,

We are the parents of a 6th grader at Olive Grove Charter Schooling Santa Barbara and want to send along our strongest support to renew their charter. Not only does this school provide an invaluable service and resource for the community, but Lisa O’Shea and her team are among the best educators you will find in any school, public or private. Our daughter has thrived at Olive Grove and we would be lost without this resource. The fact that they are even having to fight for their charter is unbelievable to us.

We ask that you recognize this amazing school for what it is and renew their charter so that kids like ours can continue to thrive!

Thank you very much,
Valerie Haselton
