[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe if College Park and DAR didn't charge the county like 3x what UMBC is charging then we wouldn't have to make the switch.  With all the budget talks going on, do we really want to be spending over a quarter of a million just to host graduations?[/quote]

Mc has space and Mcps gives them a small fortune.  Or, the field. You are right, we should spend umbc either.[/quote]

MC is a good option in my opinion. They have a huge space with an air conditioned tent in a reasonably accessible part of the county. Lots to like about it.

I’m not sure why it doesn’t seem to work out.[/quote]

Politics. [/quote]
Bad planning? In other words, typical MCPS.  I can’t think of any other school district that spends so much money to do graduations at such an inconvenient location out of the county.  [/quote]

This thread is amusing to me because two years ago I started a thread saying I was bummed out about driving so far to go to a really impersonal location in a county/place we had no connection to and at a time that felt really uncelebratory, and everyone mocked me as a fragile snowflake.  Obviously we all survived but I wouldn’t say it was a particularly cherished memory for my graduate or us and I didn’t invite any family members to take a whole day off work and leave their homes at the crack of dawn to get to Baltimore county for the graduation.  It was just a very “whatever” experience for all involved.  [/quote]
