Connecticut School Will Move Graduation Away From Cathedral

By Howard M. Friedman

The South Windsor, Connecticut, Board of Education has voted to move South Windsor High School's 2010 graduation from the First Cathedral in Bloomfield to the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. The move came after Americans United and the ACLU threatened to sue the Enfield school system which also uses the Cathedral, and made preliminary inquiries of South Windsor. (See prior posting.) Wednesday's Hartford Courant reports that the Cathedral has charged fees of $7400 to $8000 for schools to use its facilities. The Enfield school board will consider whether to move its schools' graduations as well when it meets in January.
