The school is offering yearbook refunds to anyone who complains about the changes and wants to turn in their yearbook, the schools spokeswoman said. Yearbook photos altered code#At least 80 images of girls were edited in the yearbook for Bartram Trail High School, located just south of Jacksonville. A 9th-grade student was wearing an outfit that the school told her met the dress code requirements, yet the school decided to edit the photo for the yearbook. The Bartram Trail High School yearbook coordinator purposefully altered 80 yearbook photos to conceal young girls chests, the school district confirmed on Friday. “Bartram Trail High School’s previous procedure was to not include student pictures in the yearbook that they deemed in violation of the student code of conduct, so the digital alterations were a solution to make sure all students were included in the yearbook,” Langston said. May 24, 2021, 04:52 AM EDT A Florida high school sparked an outcry from students and parents after it digitally altered female students’ yearbook pictures to cover up their chests and shoulders. (WFOX/WJAX) - A Florida high school is being criticized for altering 80 yearbook photos of female students that it deemed inappropriate and not in line with dress code. The high school’s website says that all student pictures in the yearbook “may be digitally adjusted” if they don’t conform to the school district’s code of conduct. Yearbooks can provide a rare glimpse into an ancestors character, their interests and abilities, and their hopes and dreams. Langston said a decision was made not to edit any team or club photos. Some parents and students have previously complained that the district’s dress code is sexist, noting that more than 80% of infractions over the last three years have been issued to female students, and that a photo of male students in swim briefs by a pool made it into the yearbook without editing. The school’s yearbook coordinator, who is a teacher, decided that the photos were out of dress code and did some of the editing, said Christina Langston, school district spokeswoman.
