A decision is expected this week on whether Lane Technical Highseniors can graduate in the Lane Stadium, Chicago Public Schoolsofficials said Friday.
Officials were discussing moving up graduation from June 7 toJune 1 but were not certain that a stadium track and field upgrade,scheduled to take 10 to 14 weeks, would definitely be finished in 12weeks -- in time for an Aug. 24game, said David Pickens, top aide toChicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan.
Other options were switching early home games to away games orrelocating commencement, he said.
Many seniors were furious when they heard the track and fieldrenovations meant they could not graduate in their 65-year-oldstadium.
CPS officials have been trying to resolve the situation forweeks, and need to make sure their plans do not violate an NFL grantfor the project, Pickens said.
