Hi Nick,

Thank you for writing and for the care you bring to students every day. No decision has been made to close TIDE Academy. On November 12, the Board directed the Superintendent to bring a transparent process and timeline to the December 10 meeting, outlining how the District will discuss and consider TIDE's future and how staff, students, and families will be informed and involved.

I appreciate your suggestion for board members to hear from TIDE staff; the current opportunities for staff to share with the board is at the December 10th board meeting. The meeting next week is for the superintendent to gather information that will be reflected in the plan presented to the board. I had a brief conversation with superintendent Leach and I expect to see in the plan more of an opportunity for staff to engage board members.
