Dear Paso Robles High School Families,

I am writing to address concerns that have been raised regarding this year's Paso Robles High School yearbook.

Photographs included in coverage of a student protest contain visible profanity on signs held by participants. While students have important rights to freedom of expression, including in official student publications, the inclusion of profanity in a school-sponsored publication does not align with District expectations, Board policy, or applicable provisions of California Education Code. (Applicable Board policy and California Education code are linked in the comments, below.)

The issue under review is not the coverage of the student protest itself. Student expression and the documentation of significant events that occur during a school year are appropriate subjects for a yearbook. Rather, the concern is that profane language appeared in a publication produced under the school's supervision and was distributed to students and families, which is a matter we take seriously.

District and school administrators are currently conducting a review to understand how this content was approved through the yearbook's editorial and publication process. This review will include examining the timeline of decisions, the procedures that were followed, and the roles and responsibilities associated with final publication review.

At the same time, we are evaluating potential options for addressing the issue. While no final decisions have been made, possible remedies under consideration include corrective measures related to the affected page and improvements to publication review procedures moving forward.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact me directly at [email protected]. The District is actively reviewing this issue, and responsibility for addressing concerns rests with school and district administration. Student yearbook staff should not be placed in the position of responding to questions or criticism regarding an ongoing administrative review. We respectfully ask that community members direct all communication regarding this matter to school administration and refrain from contacting student yearbook staff or messaging student-affiliated social media accounts.

We appreciate your patience as we work to fully understand what occurred and determine appropriate next steps.

Sincerely,

Mike Susank
Principal
Paso Robles High School
