Dear Members of the Anaheim City Council,
As a product of public school education and proud AUHSD Board of Trustee, I stand in solidarity with my
elementary school colleagues from AESD and public school advocates to ask you to accept the appeal of the Planning
Commission's decision, and deny a conditional use permit for a TK‐8th grade charter school in the City of Anaheim.
Our public education system prides itself in providing quality education, ensuring our students graduate with 21st
century skills, civic purpose initiatives, and robust opportunities to participate in dual language programs, dual
enrollment programs, career technical education, and internship opportunities.
The City of Anaheim is also home to 17 Community Schools (15 in AUHSD and in 2 AESD) and growing. Our Community
Schools Model is a commitment to serving our school's community working together to address the needs of the whole
child. A model supported by the Anaheim City Council in 2022.
Charter schools undermine the work of our public schools. They commonly act as businesses then spaces for education;
and are not held accountable nor regulated by local government, but run freely by independent boards.
At a critical time in education, I ask you to support our students and public education, and deny the conditional use
permit for a TK‐8th grade charter school.
Thank you,
Jessica Guerrero
AUHSD Board of Trustees
