Notice about Closing of LPS-Campbell:

It is with regret that I must inform you that we on the LPS Board voted to close the Campbell site of Leadership Public Schools following completion of Summer School in July 2008.

LPS-Campbell has had to move twice in the last two years. Next year our campus would have been located across town at Leigh High with another move the following year. The Campbell Union High School Superintendent and I worked together to find a permanent site for LPS-Campbell that would be big enough to allow us to grow to our full size. Ultimately, this was not possible for a number of years.

We do, however, have a permanent school in San Jose that welcomes former Campbell students and students who might have been interested in LPS-Campbell. Providing the opportunity for Campbell students to join the LPS San Jose student body allows them to complete their remaining high school years at one school. For information about enrolling at LPS-San Jose, please click here.

In closing, I want to emphasize that the decision to close the Campbell site was based strictly on facilities problems. It had nothing to do with the quality of the school or the excellent educational program that has been provided by Mr. Pacheco and the Campbell teachers and staff.

With respect and regrets,

Dr. Louise Bay Waters
Superintendent & CEO
Leadership Public Schools
