Kamron Johnson and Hunter Jones(Pictured Above) were both students at Ben Lomond who had their lives cut short and will not be graduating with the rest of their Class of 2019 this May. Their lives impacted their classmates in and out of school and the Class of 2019 would like to be able to recognize and memorialize them at what would be their graduation. According to District Policy 9.5 these students won’t be allowed to be recognized at graduation. The aim of this petition is to show the support and desire of students and staff at Ben Lomond to have this policy suspended until after graduation and then to have it looked at in order to provide a more compassionate policy towards Student and Staff Memorialization.
It is the least the school could do. The families aren't asking much and they're not trying to glorify death. Don't sweep these students under the rug. Respect for the deceased, please.
