Dear Washington State Charter School Commission:

I am glad that we in Washington are taking steps to ensure that all students have access to an education that will prepare them for success beyond high school. I believe that providing families high quality public school choices is required to achieve equity in educational opportunity.

I write to you in support of Green Dot Public Schools. As a supporter of educational equity for the Tacoma community, I am excited that Green Dot Public Schools brings our city a 13-year track record of success for over 10,000 students in California. Further, I am excited that Green Dot’s approach is one of collaboration within the communities it serves.

Green Dot leaders have already started conversations with Tacoma stakeholders and I look forward to a continued dialogue about what our students need and what Green Dot’s contribution to our city’s innovative approach to schooling could look like.

I sign in support of Green Dot Public Schools in its application for a Tacoma charter middle school.

Thank you,
