Letter to the editor: Ask governor to let students have graduation

I am asking all superintendents and school boards to reach out to the governor and ask him not to cancel all 2020 graduation ceremonies. Hasn’t enough been taken away from our students and school staffs?

The class of 2020 are the next teachers, medical professionals, chemists, engineers, etc. who will be fighting the next viruses. They deserve to hear their names, walk across the stage, throw their caps, and celebrate with friends and families. Please give them this moment!

I truly believe the call on April 9 to cancel school for the rest of the school year was way too early. Don’t let graduations have the same fate. Delay them if you must, but do not cancel!
