​​SPECIAL MESSAGE
Regarding the Retirement of Superintendent Patrick Watson

Dear IA Parents!

We are sure you have heard the news about the retirement of Superintendent Patrick Watson. Pat was a HUGE supporter of the International Academy and the PTIA has been working with him for many years to make several positive improvements for our students here at IA. While this is a tremendous loss for all of the International Academy and the IA students, it is also a time when we need your help.

We have a BIG ASK!!! We need all of you to become more engaged and help advocate on behalf of our kids. We want a voice at the table when the Bloomfield Hills School Board interviews and chooses a new superintendent. We want to make sure that whomever they choose, understands the IA, is also an advocate and supportive of the International Academy and has our students’ best interests when carrying on some of the items Pat has begun to implement.


There is a Board Meeting for the Bloomfield Hills School District next week on Thursday, April 27th at 6:30 pm at the Booth Center (7273 Wing Lake Rd, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48301). We would like you to attend. We need as many IA Parents and/or Students as possible in attendance and even ask if some of the Bloomfield Hills district parents/students are even willing to come speak up about how important the International Academy is to us and to our students.

If you want to speak and further discuss in detail some of the PTIA Board’s concerns about these items please feel free to contact our PTIA Board ptiaokma@gmail.com. We’re happy to inform you about our approach to support the school.

Thank you,
THE PTIA BOARD
