Senior asks board to permit painted graduation caps
Summary
A senior stage manager told the board staff denied a request to paint a graduation cap and encouraged the board to change the practice for this year or next to allow student artistic expression.
A Banks High School senior spoke at the March 9 public-comment period to ask the board to consider letting students paint graduation caps.
Dylan (who also uses the name DJ) told the board he had asked a staff member whether he could paint his cap and was told no; staff advised him to bring the request to the board but said there might not be time. "I asked them if I could paint my cap for graduation because I do plan on graduating this year. Um, and they told me no," Dylan said, asking the board to consider the request for this year or to change the rule for future students.
The board member who spoke to Dylan after his comment offered to follow up within a few days to explain the policy process and explore options. No formal policy change or vote occurred at the meeting.
