Whatever the merits of moving the Rio Rancho High School graduation ceremony to the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, the decision should have been made before rather than after families had begun planning.
Extended family members have already made travel plans and requested vacation times in anticipation of attending the ceremony for which they may not now get tickets.
It is apparent there was not enough public deliberation about this issue. A decision affecting the entire school population should have been discussed publicly so that all voices were heard prior to the decision, particularly since the number of seats available to family and friends of the graduates has been reduced by more than two thirds.
Please join us in moving the graduation ceremony back to The Pit.
