There’s no date set yet, but there are more details on what Shepherd Middle School’s eighth grade graduation could look like. Principal Gary Windy told the board of education Tuesday that’s he’s looking at a drive-through ceremony based on advice from local authorities.
Student speeches and names would be printed in a program given to students ahead of time and there would be photo op for each student.
Windy says he’d like to see the ceremony be as close to the end of school as possible otherwise he’d be worried that student won’t participate.
Board member Ron Henson said he’d rather wait and see if a more traditional ceremony could happen in the future.
Board President Kerry Bryson would like to have a plan in place soon.
Ottawa police would help with traffic at the ceremony.
