The limits are extremely difficult for divorced and remarried parents and results in exclusion of all siblings and grandparents for my daughter

Seems like a great and simple solution.

If the issue comes down to money, I am sure additional family members would be happy to pay for their tickets in order to attend!

My immediate family alone would fill almost all the seats. I know the grandparents in all sides would love to share in this special moment.

I have a huge family including 2 sets of grandparents for my daughter. How could I possibly chose and tell 2 of them can not attend their granddaughters graduation. Please consider the idea to opening the lawn. Thank you!

I find it sad that I am begging for one extra ticket so that my child’s grandparent can watch her graduate

An excellent idea to allow large families to have the opportunity to include more relatives to be there for this very special occasion.

Thank you for your comment. The goal is not to impair Pavilion seating. It is for additional lawn seating. As for cost, we have vibrant D113 funds and because D113 waited so long to address this request put forward months back, it is unfair to dump costs on the current families. With proper planning, arrangements for fees could have been made. To be clear, this request to work together is for THIS YEAR and upcoming graduations. This is not a platform to argue as the intent of the petition is clear. Thank you.

Yes but ONLY if tickets are different so those w/ pavilion tickets will, indeed, be able to sit inside. I wonder what the additional cost is and WHO will pay it since fees for graduation were collected at the beginning of the year. Plus, will parking be an issue?? So yes, ONLY if no other concerns arise. Maybe for future years but not this year. It's not NEW to only have limited seating & fine for other relatives to watch live feed.
