A mother of a Mt. Carmel High School again appeared before the Wabash District #348 school board this week pressing for changes to how parking passes are distributed at MCHS. Shelly Harris began her push back in August when she said under the current process, those with high grade point averages are given first crack at the most coveted parking spots. Harris said the experience can be humiliating for those with lower GPA’s as they stand and wait to be called to get their pass. She was back at Tuesday night’s school board asking if any decisions had been made on changing the process. High school principal Andrew Shelby assured her that changes are in the works….
In the past, passes had been distributed on a first-come, first-served process divided by class with seniors getting first dibs.
