If they let us those what we identify as, some people don't identify as either male nor female so the blue and white aren't right There wont be an "even" amount of the colors Then id have to go to the CBRSD board and propose the idea there if i want it to be a whole district thing Even if it doesn't get past there, i could probably change it for Wahconah alone which would be a great start but even if it'll only affect my class and i could be happy, i cant be the only senior in Berkshire county (or underclassmen) who cares about it So id try to pass it on to someone of a lower class so they can keep fighting for it to be a district thing. Cause most school can incorporate black or white into he gowns as a third color Especially since most of our sports teams (and other schools too) are getting all black uniforms, make the gown colors blue black and white. So when kids choose, there wont be the traditional notion of oh white is girls and blue or boys so students don't get identified wrong. Itll just be 3 colors To make sure the colors are equal, get the number of kids in the class then divide it by three. Then first come first serve on what color they get but they have a "back up" ex: 120 students= 40 black, 40 white, 40 blue if theres enough students thatarent a multiple of 3, then just get as close as possible Mona Shores North Attleboro Wasn't mainly about gender at all. was just because of "why not?" The current issues with this Well it seems that the superintendent has a lot of say in the decision, but so does the principle Progress little by little! The senior class voted to reject the change Friday afternoon. The change to go to all navy was to create a "gender neutral" environment to make transgender students feel more comfortable when they walk on graduation day. School superintendent said it was a "symbol of unity" with no mention of gender. Some seniors suggested the change actually does the opposite of achieving gender neutrality and that transgender students should have the opportunity to walk in the color that reflects how they identify. the superintendent acknowledge that they were enough concern to now prompt a student vote -- a poll of the senior class asking whether they want to keep the change, or go back to how things were. But it turns out many students didn't favor the change. After reviewing the survey results and talking with student leaders, the school has decided to go back to the traditional two separate gown colors for boys and girls. I think the policy should be seniors get to pick whatever color they want! Downers Grove South How would this happen? A plan to unify the gowns initially drew uproar from seniors at North Attleboro . took a 180 when they announced a new plan that now incorporates some of the students’ concerns. All seniors will now wear red gowns, but a white stole decorated with the district’s “N” and the year 2018 has also been added to the graduation attire. Principal Peter Haviland said the decision elicited cheers from students during an assembly late last month. So first id go to the principle and propose the idea, tell him my plan and how it would accommodate 99% of the problems After it goes through the principle, i assume i would have to go to the school comity. So id go there, give all my points and show that this is a big deal to me. if you show you care they take it more seriously After it gets past the commity, id assume i have to talk to the superintendent and propose the idea, again, give all my points and how they work for everyone and keep people as happy as possible But how does this address the issues? Graduation Cap and Gown We should be able to choose what cap and gown color we can wear at graduation Democracy at its finest! Pros: Looks neater Takes less time or organize a girl,boy,girl,boy pattern Honor role stoles show better in the navy "Brings the senior class together" Gender inclusive
