The students are not all happy along with many parents. The community is completely divided.

Some parents are not ordering gowns at all in protest. Others have contacted the Board of Education to get their view. Unfortunately with it not being a policy they leave it up to the individual schools.
Parents and students who used to be friends are now on opposite sides.
It is a very sad situation.
