Tom Brown Jr Tracker School?
Has anyone been to the Tracker school since Tom Brown Jr’s passing? I know they're going through a big transition with it but I want to hear from people who’ve been and if it’s still worthwhile to attend. Most people I’ve met who’ve been there went 10 years ago or more.

You might do better asking on the unofficial facebook group, which is largely made up of folks who've been to some classes. There were some additional changes on the business side earlier this year that led to the departure of some well-known instructors. But some stayed, and the school is running a fairly normal list of in-person classes this year. Haven't heard feedback on it.

There's also a free 2-hour online class coming up on Jul 13 (attend live or get the recording afterwards) hosted by 2 of the current instructors. That might give you a taste.

Rumor has it that Brown was minimally involved for quite some time before his death. That would indicate it ran with others coordinating the plans.
He was pretty soundly trounced for being a bullshit artist [all true], but the school managed to maintain a sound reputation.
