What’s surprising to me is that the boarding school did not send out the same parent email that I received in the weeks leading up to graduation. It was a very diplomatic reminder of all these very talented kids have to lose if there were problems stemming from underaged drinking at a grad party. The schools do have a stake here as it is their reputation on the line as well. Headlines like this hurt more than just those students arrested.
Her parents most likely attended graduation and presumably had knowledge of where their daughter would be staying in the days following. It’s a stretch for me to think they had no idea about the house and the proposed party. Someone also had to sign that lease. Would anyone knowingly rent their home to a high school senior throwing a graduation party for close to 200 kids?
