SAN ANTONIO – SAISD is moving up the start times for its high school graduation ceremonies at Freeman Coliseum on Friday, June 5, citing expected traffic and travel delays tied to the NBA Finals next door at the Frost Bank Center.<\/p>\n
The San Antonio Independent School District said the schedule change is \u201cdue to anticipated traffic congestion and travel delays associated with the NBA Finals at the neighboring Frost Center.\u201d<\/p>\n
All three SAISD ceremonies scheduled at Freeman Coliseum on June 5 will now begin earlier:<\/p>\n
8 a.m. \u2013 Jefferson High School<\/p>\n
11:30 a.m. \u2013 Lanier High School<\/p>\n
3 p.m. \u2013 Brackenridge High School<\/p>\n
SAISD said graduates must arrive one hour before their scheduled ceremony time for check-in and preparation. In the case of Jefferson\u2019s ceremony, that means students must arrive at 7 a.m. The district also told families, \u201cWe appreciate your flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
The district\u2019s graduations are being held at Freeman Coliseum, next to the Frost Bank Center. SAISD noted the earlier start times are intended to reduce the risk that congestion from the NBA Finals could cause delays that might affect the day\u2019s remaining ceremonies.<\/p>\n
