VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Volusia County parents are petitioning Volusia County Schools to let seniors have a normal graduation and prom.
The district has limited families to just two tickets each for graduation and isn’t doing prom this year because of concerns over the coronavirus.

Parents said they’ve seen other districts find alternative ways to do prom and graduation and they want to see Volusia County do the same.
They feel there are ways to make it work, whether that may be doing graduation outside or at a different venue. The parents plan to bring up their concerns at a school board meeting on Tuesday.
