Esteemed Members of the Vallejo Planning Commission-
ELITE Public Schools proposes to place its high school campus at 241-255 Georgia Street in downtown Vallejo. Our school is growing rapidly and there is a need to segregate the TK-8 campus from the 9-12 campus, for purposes of academic efficiency and student safety and security.
The ELITE team has a secured funding for the purchase and remodeling of the building and is prepared to take decisive next steps toward occupancy, once the city of Vallejo has approved it's Major Use Permit (approval is necessary to place a high school in this specific location). ELITE has been working with the city for over a year to submit all documentation needed for the Major Use Permit.
The establishment of ELITE's college-preparatory high school program downtown is in direct alignment with the Downtown Vallejo Specific Master Plan (2005) section 7. The plan emphasizes that there will be a need for a high school in the downtown area as the student population in Vallejo grows and shifts. We would suggest there is always a need for high performing educational, and more specifically, high school options for Vallejo students. We also believe that the presence of our students and families downtown will be just what is needed to revitalize the area, bringing energy, enthusiasm, and economic development to the area.
We, the undersigned parents and community partners duly express our wholehearted support for the placement of ELITE College-Preparatory High School at 241-255 Georgia Street. We appreciate your consideration of our request.
