DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Prom is being put on pause in Dorchester District Two. On Monday, parents at Summerville High School received written notice saying prom planning was being put on hold.
Karen Radcliffe is the executive director of secondary education for Dorchester District 2 and said they don’t have a crystal ball and don’t know what the pandemic will look like in April.
“Anybody who has attended a high school prom with over 750 kids knows that there is no social distancing going on at a prom,” Radcliffe said. “To err on the side of safety and caution for our students and parents and staff members we thought it would be best to put a pause on prom.”
