“We parents’ frustration isn’t that our school board is holding the events for Dr. Casteel’s retirement, but rather the glaring double standard of the board not being willing to also approve virtually the exact same logistics for our students’ proms and graduation ceremonies, using the excuse of ‘COVID risks,’” Jennifer Alvey, who has five children in the district, told the Daily Wire.
