Livermore Valley Charter Preparatory (LVCP) was a California Public Charter High School located at 3090 Independence Dr. in Livermore, California. Established in 2010, the school was authorized by the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD). This school is now defunct as a result of the bankruptcy of its parent charter management operator Tri-Valley Learning Corporation (TVLC) resulting after the completion of an AB139 Extraordinary Audit ordered by Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE) and performed by FCMAT. Apparent conflicts of interest and fiscal problems were identified along with the default of $57M of loans.

Naval Air Station Livermore has nearby airfield landing strips to support the training of US Navy pilots during World War 2. The airfield are called Naval Outlying Landing Field (NOLFs). For the war many new trained pilots were needed. The Naval Outlying Landing Fields provided a place for pilots to practice landing and take off without other air traffic. The remotes sites offered flight training without distractions. Most of the new pilots departed to the Pacific War after training. The Outlying Landing Fields had little or no support facilities. Naval Air Station Livermore opened in 1942 and closed in 1951. The Outlying field closed in 1945, having completed the role of training over 4000 new pilots. To open the needed Outlying Landing Fields quickly, the Navy took over local crop dusting and barnstorming airfields.
