Because who doesn't love a party so loud that it wakes up everybody's kids for a 5+ block radius? That refuses to turn down the music for 20 minutes after the police arrive? Those darn Chevy Chasers! Must be racist
Is this true? I've followed this story but didn't read about a 5+ block radius anywhere.
I know some a half mile away and they heard the music. Trust me there is more to the story. The woman is an "activist" and used his for a non-story.

At 10:00ish who calls cops on their neighbor for noise? Just go knock on door and ask someone to turn it down. Geez.

No it's not true. She also delivered wine baskets to neighbors and asked that they call her if music was too loud. They called police minutes after the 10pm noise ordinance kicked in.

That's good enough. How much celebration do they need?

Seems like Lafayette desperately needs its own listserv where folks cannot remain anonymous.

Wait, so this is an event for parents and their 125 kids? Holy crap. That's not a quick 20 minute photo outside. Certainly something this large should have gotten buy-in from the admin.
At this time of year there are a million other things going on during the day -- 5th graduation is two days away, there are probably staff meetings, library packing, other classes have their own events. The custodial staff may be overstretched etc.
How did these teachers not run this by the front office?
This is all on the teachers and parents who apparently didn't bother to let the principal know that they were planning a several-hundred-person event during school hours.
It was not several hundred,
classes were having them on different days in their classrooms or outside.
But there is a party for all the kindergarteners already planned, right? So why do they need YET ANOTHER party?
Don't you see? It's not for the kids. It's for the parents. Whenever and where ever they want. With no regard for how it might impact other people or events going on that day or who it might impact.

I'm liking this principal more and more.
Seriously! Just plan a "come if you can make it" playdate in the schoolyard after school on Wednesday when school lets out

Our kids don't understand why we have to work but other parents can make it to the 10 events this month.
Yes!!!!!
Amen!
