Sonali Rodrigues and James Tate stand outside Shelton High School in Shelton, Conn. James was suspended after asking Sonali to the prom by posting an invitation in big cardboard letters on the side of the school.
A Connecticut high school headmaster has reversed her decision to ban a student from the prom after he broke school rules by hanging an invitation to his prospective date at the school entrance.
Sonali Rodrigues said yes, but Shelton High School senior James Tate was suspended for posting the invitation on a wall in 12-inch cardboard letters. School officials said it was a safety risk.
Under school rules, because Tate was suspended after April 1, he couldn't go to the prom with Rodrigues.
But on Saturday, headmaster Beth Smith announced a policy change. Now, the school decides prom attendance for suspended students on a "case-by-case" basis. In Tate's case, he can go.
Smith acknowledged the "international notoriety" the case received on social-networking sites had an effect. Students also staged a protest sit-in.
