Parents are expressing their frustration with Pearland High School for limiting the capacity of this year’s homecoming dance, which they said leaves a large part of the student population feeling excluded.
“Why don’t you plan an event where everyone from the school is welcome to come?” questioned parent, Darcy Bryan-Wilson.
“She has bought a dress, she has had her nails done, bought shoes. Got a whole group together. They were really, really excited,” said the mother of two. “Two days ago, we got an email at 2 o’clock in the afternoon that they only had 200 tickets left,” Bryan-Wilson said. “They were only going to allow 1,000 kids to attend, which is only a third of the population of the school.”
Bryan-Wilson said students quickly snagged the remaining 200 tickets for sale, but her daughter was among the lucky ones Thursday who got to purchase a ticket through the lottery.
