Why doesn't Fayette County stagger high school graduations more than they do?I asked this question last year, with no good answer given. I've asked the school board members and Dr. DeCotis, with no response. The staff at the high schools don't appear to know why, either. And yet, I have not personally met anyone who would have a problem with changing the schedule. Counties all around us do. Why can't Fayette County? Why do we have 5 high schools all graduating on the same night, at either 6pm or 8pm? The how to decide who goes first part: Start with the oldest high school in the county, then the next oldest, and so on. The next year, rotate so the 2nd oldest goes first, etc, and then the next year, the third oldest goes first. And so on and so forth. The only fair way to do it, I think. Right now, all the schools graduate at either 6pm or 8pm. What is the point of even having the 2 different times? It isn't like you can make it from one school to another in that time period, if you need to (say, if you have 2 nieces graduating at the same time). And yes, there *are* family members who want to do that. IMNSHO's blog | login to post comments |
