Yes, you read that right. After receiving multiple phone calls and a post in our online forums, we here at the Voice are working to investigate what is going on with this story. We have heard from a parent of former Tipp City student, Baily Cole who is now serving in the United States Navy as well as several members of our local veterans organizations expressing their outrage over Baily not being allowed to attend the high school prom because of safety concerns of other students.

We contacted the schools and spoke with Tipp City superintendent Dr. Kronour, and he stated that this former student had some discipline issues at the end of the 2008 school year and felt that Assistant principal Brian Honeycutt made the right decision to disallow the former student to attend this years Junior/Senior prom. He further said that they will re-evaluate it again next year if necessary.

We want to hear what you think about this topic. You can visit our online forums to read more at the following link: U.S. Military a threat to the Prom?
