Petition against new graduation expectations.
Petition against new graduation expectations.
The Issue
We are class of 2026. We are getting told that a new expectation of only allowing 10 people allowed to be at our graduation ceremony. The Des Moines Public Schools created this new rule. In all of our years we had more teachers than we are allowed tickets. Many students have family members who are coming down from all around the world to watch their families/friends walk the stage. We need your help to attempt to put a stop in this, everyone’s voice matters, and together we may make this change.
