(KAIR)--A change in scheduling for the 2024 Atchison High School Graduation ceremonies.

That word is delivered in a release, issued Tuesday by USD 409 Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Renee Nugent, who says the decision to adjust the date to Saturday morning, May 18, at 10:00, came "after careful consideration and thorough review of our upcoming events," at which time the school district "encountered an unforeseen scheduling conflict that directly impacts" the original graduation date of Thursday, May 16.

Saying the decision "was not made lightly," Nugent, in the release, says it was made "to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate in graduation," adding that while the district fully recognizes "the adjustments and possible inconveniences this change may impose," Nugent adds that an extensive evaluation of "all possible alternatives to find a solution that minimizes disruptions while prioritizing the inclusion of all our students" was made prior to the change.

Nugent, who adds the district sincerely appreciates patron "understanding, flexibility, and continued support...to made [graduation] a memorable occasion for our students," closes the release by saying to "please feel free to reach out directly to [Nugent] or school administration with any concerns or questions...regarding the change."
