Summary

A Magdalena High School senior asked the board to move the graduation ceremony time because it conflicts with Alamo High School's graduation; the board agreed to address the request at its Dec. 15 meeting and also heard an Elementary Friday Academy presentation.

Belem Villa, a senior at Magdalena High School, asked the Magdalena Municipal Schools Board on Nov. 17 to consider changing the time of the graduation ceremony because it conflicts with Alamo High School's graduation. The student told the board the date is acceptable but the current scheduled time creates a scheduling clash.

Board members said they would take action on the request at the Dec. 15 regular business meeting. The minutes record that the board will consider changing the time of the ceremony at that meeting; no decision was made on Nov. 17.

During the same portion of the meeting, Jory Mirabal, elementary principal and athletic director, presented written information about the Elementary Friday Academy and answered questions from board members.

The board’s packet and minutes indicate the graduation-time request will be placed on the December agenda for formal consideration, and the board asked staff to prepare any needed scheduling details in advance.
