Tilden Preparatory School land use permit

A Tilden parent described how the school transformed her autistic, gifted son from school refusal to a 4.0 GPA, and urged approval so Tilden can pursue non-public school certification and better serve kids like hers.

A Tilden parent and fire alarm technician said specialized schools like Tilden fill a vital gap for struggling kids and asked the commission to approve it.

Tilden's Walnut Creek head of school described serving underserved gifted students with learning differences and hopes to bring theater arts programming to the Lafayette Library.

The school's co-founder and applicant said parking and drop-off haven't been problems at their other campuses and that they'd be a friendly presence in Lafayette.
