Someone explain to me why we must spend $33,000 for graduation?
We have a new high school, but we have to go to Bowdoin College for a graduation ceremony? Why not use the facility we have at the high school where we have a speaker system and an auditorium for seating?
Graduating is for the students and their parents to highlight their accomplishment. It was suitable for the graduate in the old high school, why not in the new high school?
Now I see another reason why our school budget is so high. The taxpayer taken again.
How much more can we stand?
