I am the parent of a Senior who was displaced by the sudden closure of East Bay Innovation Academy’s HS. He was a junior last school year. I am speaking tonight because the secretive way EBIA shut down its high school has deeply affected my family. By making this decision behind closed doors after standard enrollment deadlines had already passed, leadership left nearly 200 students and their families completely blindsided. Even though my son is now enrolled in a new school for his senior year, the transition has been difficult. What should have been an exciting final year of high school—focused on graduation and college applications—turned into a frantic scramble after the alternative options we were pointed toward either fell through or proved to be facing severe financial crises of their own.
Families deserve transparency, stability, and honesty. EBIA accountable so that no other student or parent are forced through this kind of disruption without notice or consequence.
