Board hears proposals to expand graduation recognitions, allow TCAT graduates to wear cords
Summary
District staff asked the board to permit students who completed TCAT programs to wear cords at graduation and to broaden recognition for FFA, 4-H and other programs; graduation date and logistics were also noted.
District staff asked the Johnson County School Board to allow two high school students who graduated from the TCAT auto-diesel program (AJ Langley and Lucas Bernard) to wear cords at the upcoming graduation ceremony. Staff said those students completed TCAT programs before receiving their high school diplomas and requested boards’ approval for recognition during commencement.
Staff also proposed adding recognitions for students who achieved state degrees and high honors in FFA, 4-H and other career/technical awards, and asked the board to consider expanding ceremony recognitions for National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society and Thespian Society inductees. The staff presentation referenced recent student achievements (track, band, choir, state skills contests) and said graduation is scheduled for Friday the 16th, to be held rain or shine with a gym backup if necessary.
The transcript shows staff requested permission to allow TCAT graduates to wear cords and to add additional recognitions to the graduation program; the record does not include a formal motion or vote on those requests in the provided excerpt.
Staff also noted forthcoming calendar and schedule matters as the school year closes and listed several senior dates and events tied to commencement activities.
