Chicago Heights 8th Grade Graduation No Longer Held at Bloom High School

Eighth grade graduations will no longer be held at Bloom High School. Reason given: because the parents of the kids yell and scream when their names are called during the ceremony......lol, but true

Well the school board has made a decision to not hold the 8th grade graduations for Chicago Heights students at Bloom High School any longer.

They will now be held in the gymnasium of their perspective schools........how you feel 'bout that? 

how can the school board make that decision without informing the parents of the schools? What sad is some parents didn't know about it until they read my post on Facebook. And when they asked their child about it, the child responded, "The teacher just told us today."

No written notification from the school board, no phone calls from the school, just happen to read it on face book and ask their child, "Ohh, by the way, the decision was made during a 'closed door' session/meeting".......lol

With no parental input at all. Why isn't there someone on the school board to represent the parents?
