Fairhope, Alabama
Update: A city official tells us the Baldwin Board of Education has not signed-off on this idea yet.
TRADITIONAL CEREMONY CANCELED
The city council passed a resolution to allow a police-escorted graduation car-parade for Fairhope High School seniors, since their traditional event was canceled by the c-virus state of emergency.
As currently envisioned, the May 18th parade would begin in Volanta Park and cars would proceed down Greeno Road to the high school, where it would be greeted by teachers and staff; well wishers could line the route as well.
Private schools in the area may be able to participate as well.
According to councilman Brown, some students approached him about holding the parade; his daughter is a senior there as well, he said.

Comments
This is not an endorsement of the parade, only a caution not to yield another iota of our civic life to school boards.
