Four concerned parents over their school district’s high school graduation ceremonies met with the superintendent to voice their concerns, the parents say.
Olentangy Local Schools planned this year’s commencement with a similar look to 2020. Some parents that spoke to 10TV were hoping the district would rethink their decision, and pitched a new proposal Wednesday.
“I do believe the district has fully evaluated all of the options,” said Denise Steele, the mother of an Olentangy High School senior. “ I feel they have put in a lot of time and energy and they have really put a lot of thought into it and I think our conversation with them today was helpful in explaining what we are hearing from parents.”
