Board approves earlier graduation time after senior-class request
Summary
Student leaders requested an earlier graduation time to allow a same-day senior event out-of-town; trustees discussed logistics and approved moving graduation earlier by voice vote.
Senior class leaders asked the board to move graduation earlier in the day so the class could travel to an out-of-town "senior fun night" and return to celebrate with families. Tayden Wasmuth (speaker 15) explained the student vote in favor of an earlier start and trustees discussed bus charter logistics and family scheduling conflicts.
After trustee discussion about practicalities and alternate start times (one trustee suggested 1 p.m. as an option), the board voted and approved an earlier graduation time by voice vote. Trustees emphasized safety and supervision for the chartered trip and asked students to coordinate logistics with staff; one trustee suggested 1 p.m. would provide more time for travel while others supported 3 p.m. "If you're gonna do this in the interest of... a safe and sane experience, that makes more sense for me," a trustee said during the discussion. The board recorded the approval and thanked the students for bringing the request forward.
