Then in 2007 teachers voted to bringin an upstart charter school organization called Green Dot to try and restorethe Locke Saints' past glory. It was a brave and desperate move. Working in secrecy, the school principal, a small group of teachers, and Green Dot's charismatic founder, Steve Barr, convince Locke teachers to support a petition thatwill take the school away from the Los Angeles Unified School District. The "new" Locke opened in the fall of 2008.
