With everything being held online these days, some students and parents are hoping for a more traditional experience. Rather than graduate virtually, nearly half a million people have signed petitions asking to postpone ceremonies so they can walk across the stage in a cap and gown. 

At last count in DFW, the advocates included: 
  • 5881 signatures targeting Frisco Independent School District in Collin County
  • 4814 signatures targeting Fort Worth Independent School District in Tarrant County
  • 4069 signatures targeting Fort Worth Independent School District in Tarrant County
  • 2386 signatures targeting Killeen Independent School District in Bell County
  • 1117 signatures targeting Venus Independent School District in Johnson County
  • 1093 signatures targeting Dallas Independent School District in Dallas County
