Cheering Fines Not Going To Happen Say District Officials and Police
"....District officials, however, told the [news] outlet that school administrators won't actually fine family members for applauding and yelling at the ceremony, which will be held at the 19,000-seat Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
It is not the district's nor Greenville High School's policy to cite parents, Greenville County Schools spokeswoman Beth Brotherton said, adding that she was not aware how the school [administrator] came up with that figure [$1030].
Because graduation is a 'publicly sanctioned event' and is held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, it is under the jurisdiction of the Greenville Police Department.
Police in Greenville, however, said they have not and will not fine parents and family members for cheering on graduates.
Brotherton said officers will have the authority to issue citations to people who cause a 'disturbance or disruption', but the police department said it has not and will not fine family members for cheering on their graduates.
Screaming somebody's name or congratulating them, that's not a police matter,' Sgt. Johnathan Bragg said. 'We would only get involved when it's actually a criminal matter. As far as charging someone for yelling, we have not done that...."
Bragg said if someone becomes 'continually disruptive' during commencement they may be asked to leave, but it would be up to the arena staff on removing the person.
We've made it very clear that we don't remove people,' he said. 'It's not our property. It's the arena's property."
Sounds like this “administrator” needs to be outed and disciplined for false threats and bullying.
