Six of Marion County s seven public high schools are pursuing contracts to hold graduation ceremonies at the Hunter Land Stadium on the grounds of the new World Equestrian Center (WEC).
The news came Monday during a lengthy special Marion County School Board work session about an array of topics. The ceremonies would be held at WEC s newly constructed 6,000-seat stadium, where hunter/jumper competitions are held.
And, unlike last year s two tickets, each graduate would get six. During the 2020 graduations, some parents and students, as well as a School Board member, protested because of the two-ticket limit set due to COVID-19 concerns.
