These parents are a bunch of whining babies. I'm going to be outside protesting their rebel graduation party.

"If for some reason Montgomery County does not agree to allow us to have it on the football field, we are planning to rent the football field the night before, hold our own graduation there, and allow the kids that want to graduate on the field to have the opportunity to," said Gallagher

Lack of notice? It's October 2025. Make some F-ing plans now. You have time.

Worried about kids driving? Oh please chatgpt made that up for you. They can ride with their parents!

Suck it up!!

If they want to coordinate the logistics and cost let them go right ahead. As long as it doesn’t cost anyone else extra.[/quote]

+1  Central Office is just mad because the Damascus parents are showing that it was illogical to have the UMBC contract for every high school in the county when some high schools had a tradition of having their graduations on campus, which is far cheaper, and more convenient for all involved.

How much does it cost to rent the chairs, stage, and other equipment for the graduation ceremony, not to mention the labor in setting up and taking down?[/quote]

Damascus parents are willing to pay privately for what was previously covered through their tax dollars rather than waste time and energy driving to Baltimore rather than having their graduation ceremony at their home school which has meaning for the school community.

So they get nothing from MCPS and pay on their own to avoid the Central Office bad decision.[/quote]

Schools usually cost share graduation.  I’d donate.  [/quote]
