2009 PROM CONTROVERSY

WHAT DO YOU THINK...IS IT THAT SERIOUS?????


Chesterfield county have many girls scrambling.

Some girls plan for prom night a year in advance and pay BIG dollars for their dress. But what's perfect in their eyes might just get them kicked out of prom.

School officials say they laid out some general guidelines for prom, in part, after a dirty dancing incident at last year's homecoming dance at Clover Hill high that left some concerned about attire. For example, no plunging necklines or bare midriff.

It's up to the 11 individual high schools to adopt them.

"We can have a back that come down to our hips and no cut outs in the front," said Chapman.

"This is the one event girls look forward to all year and they're making it so strict some of the dresses they're telling us we should be wearing are old lady dresses," said James River High student Kelsey Atkinson.

McSherry wants the schools to be a little bit more understanding when the girls show up for prom. But school officials say security will be on hand to monitor the dress code and anyone not following it will be asked to leave.
