The changes made to the graduation program of schools across the Regina Public School Board are outraging parents and students alike, as a key component of the program has been taken away from students. The graduation banquet has been removed from the program. Students were given poor reasons of justification to the alterations, all of which are easily rectified situations that have a large array of solutions.

The grad banquet has been an important part of the graduation process for students, parents, and teachers for a number of years and the changes made to this fundamental principle have been received within the community as unfair, unjustified, and upsetting.
