Prom is considered a rite of passing for high school years, but three schools in Durham region have canceled the incident that was scheduled to take place in the next spring.
On Friday afternoon, the students received a letter stating that earlier this year, the school is moving away from a formal prom.
He said that “it becomes difficult for schools-related expectations, liabilities and risks associated with risks to the schools to continue to present them in that way.”
Matthew Perry, a student of Grade 12 at Brooklyn High School, said he was disappointed with a sudden decision. “This is something we look forward to at the end of the year.”
Carson Brown, a student of another grade 12, said, “This is just a kind of abusive.”
A letter received by Citynews sent Brooklyn students about the cancellation of their prom.
“Perhaps they are using liability as a front, but I am not sure,” Brown said. “It’s safe and I know it has been like this for years.”
Perry shared, “Later … they cannot be held accountable for it; it is not on them. It is our decision, we are not on their property.”
On Monday, the students moved out of the class, opposing the principal’s decision, with the support of some parents. “We have been waiting for a long time. Four years for just one night,” a student said in protest.
High school parents Erin said, “I know that Prom was important for himself, and friends and family and people here are going to worry about it.”
CITYNEWS has since received an updated notice sent to high school children on Monday afternoon after a walkout.
Part of the letter stated that he had heard concerns about the need for more interaction with students before making changes and “In the light of the response, we are stopping the plan to consider responsible steps.”
Students were sent homes after going out to protest the cancellation of Prom.

Citynews also approached Brooklyn for comment, but received no response.
News about Prom came to the office of Whitby Mayor Elizabeth Roy in all ways.
“When Kovid -19 killed, my daughter, who is 22 years old, did not get prom and has an opportunity to be prom, but it is human nature that is taking it away,” Roy said.
It is not just away from Brooklyn High School Senior Event.
UXBridge High School and Brock High School have planned to cancel Prom.
We reached Durham District School Board, and they said in part ,We support the change, but these schools have asked to stop, and to understand the concerns and to determine sitting opportunities with students and employees to detect meaningful options or adjustments showing our shared values and priorities. ,
“I honestly think that communication for the Students’ Council, but also the Mulgar Council can be handled in a different and better way,” Roy said. “Other schools are promoting proms and there is no prom for three schools, there should be a way to detect it.
An online petition has so far signed more than 2,900 signs to reverse the Brooklyn High School Administration. Students like Perry say that they will not stop speaking until they return their path.
“I hope they start it again, I know it is going to be something like a mini-game on the field at the end of the year and it is not going to cut it.
