Stride appoints Fivespan's Dylan Haggart and Dr. Steven Guttentag to Board
LRNStride, Inc.
Stride entered a Cooperation Agreement with activist investor Fivespan Partners, resulting in the appointment of Dylan Haggart as an independent director effective October 30, 2026, and Dr. Steven Guttentag as a board observer immediately. Allison Lawrence resigned from the Board but will serve as an observer until reappointed after the December 10 annual meeting. The Board also formed a Capital Allocation Committee to review capital structure, with Haggart co-chairing alongside Brian Shepherd. Fivespan withdrew its nomination notice and inspection demands in exchange for these governance changes and standstill obligations. Stride operates technology-based K-12 education solutions.
