What happened
The board set the Class of 2027 graduation for Thursday, May 20, 2027 at 6 p.m. at Liberty University's Vines Center in Lynchburg. That day is an early release for primary, elementary and middle students. In a survey of 185 people, 80% supported the Vines Center, though some raised parking, accessibility and distance concerns.
