I also would like to know why the new Forestview School is not being used for graduation ceremonies? Why was the fanciness of the school so much more important than utilizing the building for more functional activities, such as enlarging the gymnasium? All of our school officials know how packed that gets at graduation ceremonies. I hope as a great-grandparent I get to attend my great-granddaughter's graduation. Cramming extra people without a ticket in that gymnasium, I would think fire codes and safety would be of concern.
