Summary

Board discussed moving graduation from May 30 to June 6 because state track and postseason baseball/softball fall on the same weekend; staff will survey senior families and return a motion next month based on results.

Staff (S2) told the board that, due to a calendar build error, graduation is currently scheduled for May 30, the same weekend as state track and some state baseball/softball events. "Do we want to be okay doing graduation on June 6 instead?" the staff member asked, proposing a parent survey to assess family impacts and travel conflicts.

Board members discussed historical precedent (districts historically have not moved graduation for state athletic events) and seat-time implications for seniors who would be out of school for multiple days prior to graduation. Staff committed to sending a targeted survey to senior families and, if feedback supports a change, to place a formal motion on the next month's agenda.
