[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the Staff answers to the board questions and the Staff presentations were really disingenuous.  I mean saying 'shriver principal said no problem to move graduation.'  Well no problem in what sense?  Sure you can find space for graduation to be on Thursday instead of Friday, but what about family members that are flying in Thursday night for the Friday graduation?  Or other arrangements the families have made?   Similarly the 'we will work to reschedule cancelled activities.'  But you know you can't reschedule the Hershey music festival.  You know the kids are excited for it and paid out of pocket.
This debacle, and the bus driver saying he wasn't allowed a day off for his orthodox holiday (I didn't even think he was asking for school to be closed, just that he personally be allowed to take the day off) should really have them rethinking this policy.  But if anything they doubled down- saying they want to block multiple days for lunar holidays.   Its crazytown.[/quote]

[b]To be fair, there are only 13 students graduating from the Shriver program[/b]. This isn't a big program. There's maybe 30 kids total.

I think the Board made the right decision though, but just want to put things into perspective.[/quote]
But it is important and likely the last graduation they will ever have. Even the suggestion of making special education students move their graduation for a voluntary religious observance is pretty gross to me.[/quote]
