It's move up from june 29th to may 26th & 27th.

Each high school will provide more details about the specifics of each graduation ceremony.

Those graduation dates are less than two weeks away.

So how will all of the plans come together?

Joining us to talk about that and what's next for students' education is the dr. ed nichols, the newly appointed superintendent of madison city schools.

Dr. nichols, good morning and congratulation s.

Pause you don't waste any time getting right into it.

The excitement is building toward graduation.

The dates are set.

What are you expecting to happen in the closing days before may 26th and 27th?

In the meantime, parents of returning students are wondering with the classroom will look like this fall.

We've been asking school leaders across north alabama if this will be more of a blended at-home setting mixed with some physical school setting.

A state task force is expected to take it up next week.

What do you think they will decide?

Communication will be the key here - as this pandemic could change course.

You're prepating multiple plans?

Plan may look like the way some college classes operate?

- how do you work with parents on logistics of making sure their students get to class?

Any tentative plan to allow older students to start up activities in early june?

Growth of the system and the budget are major challenges.

How are you addressing both?

Dr. ed nichole - the new madison city schools superintendent.

Thanks for being with us.
