Providence High School
Parents at Providence High School say they re disappointed with a decision that prevents them from attending the school s spring show, while the parents of student athletes will be allowed to attend indoor sporting events and other athletic competitions. If it s safe to put people in a gym, it s safe to put people in an auditorium in family pods far away from each other, said Mitzi Lynch, a parent and president of the school s drama booster club. There s really no difference.
Another parent, Jessica Daitch, who is also treasurer of the school s drama booster club, called the decision arbitrary and completely unfair, and said the school district was employing two sets of standards one for athletes, and one for non-athletes.

The 2021 graduation ceremonies for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools seniors might look kind of like this again not virtual like 2020 s ceremonies.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will hold 2021 graduation ceremonies at Bojangles Coliseum, Ovens Auditorium and the Charlotte Convention Center, Superintendent Earnest Winston announced Tuesday night.
Last year the pandemic forced the district to rely on virtual ceremonies and drive-through diploma pickups. This year, as things are improving, we wanted to offer our students, their families and friends an opportunity to celebrate this amazing accomplishment and life event, Winston said.
Graduates will be limited to two guests to allow for safe distancing, and the ceremonies will be streamed for others who can’t attend.
