Dear SUHSD Board of Education,
My name is [REDACTED] and I am a 9th grader at TIDE Academy. I chose to attend TIDE because my parents were supportive of the school. Another reason I came here was that I was interested in the dual-enrollment system. I believe that TIDE should remain open because its staff and students have been kind to me. I have noticed this for all of the time that I have been here. Also, the CTE pathway system and the dual-enrollment system are academically beneficial to me, so I would be sad if I had to leave for another school.
It is important for TIDE to remain as an option for students in this district because there are so many other students that share my opinions that the school should stay open. If TIDE were to close, so many students would be displaced. It would also affect parents and teachers. My parents care about the school, and they were frustrated when they heard the news that TIDE might be closed. It would also be a big struggle for students to academically adjust to a new school.
I would like to reiterate that TIDE should remain open. I have enjoyed the time I've spent here, and I enjoy that this school provides useful programs. I urge the SUHSD Board to think of how incredibly difficult the idea of hearing TIDE close will be on all past, current, and future TIDE students.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]
Class of 2029
