URGENT INFORMATION: Temporary Suspension in Classes

Dear Trillium Community,

We were informed at the end of business day on Friday that we must temporarily suspend classes and we may not use the building because our property and liability insurance was canceled. The cancellation is due to our account history that occurred as a result of our financial struggles over the past few years. Thankfully, we are making great strides, but work on our transition to financial stability is still a real issue.

We are actively communicating with our insurance broker to reinstate our insurance policy as soon as possible. This suspension of classes, which impacts all grade levels and preschool, will begin Monday, 4/10. This means there will be NO SCHOOL, nor will be there anyone in the building.

Our hope is that this issue can be resolved sooner, but we must plan for a 2 week suspension of classes and building use.

We understand this is an unexpected announcement and that it will be challenging. Thankfully, Trillium is a strong community and we will work through this together. We will communicate via email to update you daily and as we have new information about insurance reinstatement. We know you have questions and we will do our best to answer them. In addition to the email we will contact parents on the phone, creating a blog specific to this suspension of classes to better update and connect online.

This Tuesday at 6:30pm we will be holding an ALL COMMUNITY MEETING location TBA. The Board, Genevieve, many Staff members, and TFT will be available at 6:30pm to answer questions and connect about working together.

We ask that parents please email your student's adviser to let them know you have received this message and understand that classes will not be held beginning Monday. Adviser emails are listed below.

Please refer any media inquiries to:

Executive Director, Genevieve Bouwes Genevieve@trilliumcharterschool.org or Trillium’s Board Chair, James Hindes James@trilliumcharterschool.org

Thank you for all the positive support as we navigate this detour. We look forward to having all of our students together in a learning community very soon.

Sincerely,

Trillium Administration
