Now, was that so tough to do? Sioux Falls School District wakes up and smells the coffee when 100 people flood the room.
From the Argus Leader:
Especially when faced with 100 adamant parents.
Sioux Falls School Board members voted unanimously Monday to allow students with major medical problems to participate in graduation ceremonies, even if they haven’t completed the required credits.Why was that so tough? I won't beat the point into the ground, but they could have solved this a week or two ago by just giving the kids a break. But, better late than never. Glad to see that a public board can see reason.
That decision replaced a recommendation from a policy committee that would have recognized those students but not allowed them to walk across the stage and receive an unsigned diploma.
The decision emerged after an emotional discussion of an audience of at least 100 people, most of whom said the current policy needed to change.
Especially when faced with 100 adamant parents.

I can't articulate a coherent thought, therefore, I remain anonymous.
