Gayles Shuts Down Our Lady of Good Counsel Graduation

Stone rudge is a much smaller school.

How was the school planning on holding a graduation with a group of fewer than fifty people? Multiple ceremonies? The article didn’t explain that.

The article says graduating class had 297 students. Many area privates have classes 1/3 that size.

The graduating class at Bullis Is even larger. They had their graduation outside very early on a Sunday morning.

My guess is that the other schools probably cleared their plans with the health department as they were making them. "Because the private school did not notify the county about the graduation, a mutual solution couldn’t be agreed upon in time, Gayles said, adding he was only informed about the graduation through a written concern. “Please tell us first,” Gayles said. “We are open to working with groups and agencies.”

Plenty of Catholic high schools have been holding socially distanced graduations. Holy Cross did their’s yesterday. SJC is doing groups of 50. It can be done. The school just screwed this up for the kids.

Several schools had an outdoor graduation. I'm guessing they were careful about numbers and space.

No. They had more than 50 people and didn't get reported.

< 50 graduates including parents and the staff. NOPE

An outside graduation with mask and social distancing should absolutely have been allowed to proceed. Poor kids and their families.

Many of the June outdoor graduations happened without the full stage and only immediate families. I know our school got permission from the county before scheduling.

Yes, provided space allowed for it.

if The rule is no more than fifty people then clearing it with county doesn’t matter. This is inconsistent enforcement. Period. Gc got singled out. Holy cross did exactvsane thing Thursday. Prep same today. So why not Gc tomorrow? Not because they didn’t clear it with county!
