A group of community members does not want to have drive-thru graduations this year, and they took time Monday night to let the Cabarrus County Board of Education know.
This year, Cabarrus County Schools has all its graduations scheduled for June 11 and 12. They are all scheduled to be at Charlotte Motor Speedway, though it is unclear if parents will be able to attend. All that has been posted on the districtâs website are the dates and times of the scheduled events.
Several people spoke during Mondayâs public comments section of the school board meeting about why they donât want to hold their graduations at the Speedway.

A North Carolina school district has issued an apology after students at one elementary school created pro-slavery tweets and hashtags for a Civil War-era assignment.
Students at Waxhaw Elementary School were encouraged to adopt personas from the Civil War era, then write mock tweets from the perspectives of the characters.
An image posted to the Facebook page of Waxhaw Elementary School showed images of some of the offensive, pro-slavery mock tweets that were displayed in a classroom wall as something students were “most proud of.” Students included hashtags like #SlaveryforLife and #SlaveryForever. The post has since been deleted.
In a statement, the school district called the assignment “unacceptable.”
