The school enacted a policy intended to cut down on attendance of "anti-prom" -- a non-school related event that was created in 2008 due to what some call overly strict rules regarding dress code and dancing for the school-sponsored prom.
An article on the school's website explains the policy this way. If a student requests a letter of recommendation from a teacher for a college application, that student has to sign a memorandum of understanding, meaning no cheating, plagiarism and no "anti-prom."
