'They don't have the means to pay off the school fees by themselves when their parents are already struggling to make ends meet.'
Just days before the ceremony, Central Crossing High School sent a letter out across the district saying, if a student's debt is unpaid, they can't walk or get a diploma.
Looking back at the post, WSYX saw parents commenting they wanted to help. Now while this debt policy is common practice, some parents say it's unfair to take unpaid bills out on students. For Diles and her daughter Ryan Mollette, squaring up school fees is not a problem. But Ryan says she has friends in her senior class - at central crossing who are distraught about it.
"Because of something like lunch fees because their parents can't afford to buy them lunch," Diles said, with her hand on her chest, holding back tears.
