El Reno to hold graduation May 30

Body

El Reno High School Class of 2020 is ready to graduate now versus later.

That’s the message Superintendent Craig McVay got last week and he obliged by setting aside May 30 for commencement exercises.

“The decision of the senior class was they wanted to do it sooner than later. Some of the governor’s actions and policies opened things up and it’s the seniors wishes to do it early,” said McVay.

Unlocking the codes

Body

Beginning June 1, the city of El Reno will resume sending notices of code violations to people who have allowed their property to fall into disrepair.

During the shelter in place guidelines forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the city sent only “courtesy notices” rather than notices of violations to property owners.

This practice took place March, April and May. The city also provided a weeklong free dump site for the spring cleanup event.

Now that the shelter in place guidelines have been lifted, violations will resume, the city said in a prepared statement.
