JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A principal in Florida has apologized after a staff member put up posters around
the school showing girls what kinds of dresses would and wouldn't be allowed at the prom.
The posters at Stanton College Preparatory School in Jacksonville featured pictures of dresses deemed
appropriate with the caption "Going to Stanton Prom? Yes you are. Good girl." Photos of more revealing
dresses had the caption "Going to Stanton Prom? No you're not."
The Florida Times -Union reports (http://bit.ly/2nmvSi8 ) that after the posters drew criticism, Stanton
principal Nongongoma Majova-Seane sent a message to parents and students apologizing and saying
students wouldn't be banned from the prom because of their clothing.
Duval County school district spokesman Mark Sherwood says the unidentified person who put up the
posters has been counselled .
