They did the same thing here. It was a huge impact on my buddie who owns a limo company. The prom was his business’ equivalent of other stores Christmas.
I am sure that the kids who couldn’t hire a limo they wanted will immediately convert to communism. (It must be loads of fun dictating to other people how they can spend their money.)
Wow. I wonder if the Superintendent will ride the bus and pay the fee.
Public education is institutionalized mediocrity. We should encourage schools to demonstrate this loudly and clearly ... because that's the only way some people will ever figure it out.
There is a good use of tax-payer funds!
It is vital to the student’s education that no one feels superior or inferior to some one else.

Equity or equality?
Jeezow, people are in print media should be able to write cogent sentences. Oh, and spel...
I would encourage the kids to take a limo to and from the bus depot.
I wonder how the school would react, if the middle class white kids boycotted the school prom in favor of a private party the same night, which was invitation only.
Wait until they ban tuxedos & prom gowns, saying they are inherently unequal in quality and style. They will be issued prom uniforms and everyone will have an equally good time.
Pehaps they can load all of the kids onto box cars, and the theme of the prom can be, “Arbeit mach Frei”.
Also, the girls should forgo the gowns and dress in appropriately dowdy pant suits.
Dictatorial tyrants tr going to destroy established traditions.
The school is correct about this. It is for the safety of the students because limos are not safe vehicles.
Last year there was a limo accident in Upstate NY. I don’t recall how many were killed.
Turns out limos don’t have brake strength as normal cars do. To make a limo, a car is cut in two, the middle section is inserted and the brake lines connected. Limos are not safe.
Show up with a date who is up for the confrontation and a camera crew. Film every minute of any obstruction by the school system. Then send them an autographed copy of “Carrie” and tell them it could be worse.
More about the latter than the former. Socialism and radical egalitarianism are hot these days. It gets harder and harder to be optimistic about the country’s future.
If they really want to end prom they should make it free and mandatory.

White town in Northern New Jersey.
School enrollment is less than 10% of population which is lower than a typical suburban school system. I suspect a lot kids go to private schools.
I seriously doubt this has anything to do with equity or equility or any of that crap. I mean limos? Really? What’s so special about that? Limousines and cruises are two things that back in the day used to be considered for the well off, but now are the province of the trashy and low class.
No problem, just tell them that your limousines self identifies as a Kia...........
Luxury cars? Like Mercedes, Rolls, Jaguars? Some parents drive those, does this mean that students can’t drive their own family cars?
A matter of safety and equity...not mention climate change.
