THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO HIGH SCHOOLS IN RIO RANCHO WHEN IT COMES TO WHICH CORDS AND STOLES STUDENTS CAN WEAR AT GRADUATION. THAT DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE THE CASE IN ALBUQUERQUE. APS SPOKESMAN JOE ESCOBEDO SAYS THEY DON’T WANT TO PLACE LIMITATIONS ON STUDENTS. FOR INSTANCE, NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS CAN WEAR TRADITIONAL CLOTHING UNDER THEIR GOWNS.
IN RIO RANCHO, CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL HAS A POLICY RESTRICTING THE KINDS OF CORDS AND STOLES STUDENTS CAN WEAR. AT RIO RANCHO HIGH SCHOOL, THERE ARE LESS RESTRICTIVE RULES.
