Even a few sentences in your own words make a real difference. You can copy and adapt this example:
I am a local community member and I support keeping TIDE Academy open so that students who need a smaller, inclusive public high school can continue to learn there. Please share all financial information transparently and fully consider alternatives to closure before any decision is made. TIDE provides a safe, supportive environment for students who struggle in large schools, and closing it would cause real harm to many families.
