How did the school react?
More meetings took place between the Arnold family and the school officials. It was revealed later that the principal of the high school was not one who was strictly enforcing the code, but it was in fact the district supervisor. The principal was just doing his job and was powerless to change the official policy of the entire school district.
The meetings went nowhere and the issue continued with no resolution in sight. The family continued to speak out in the media and rally more support around them to try and not only help their son but other minority groups in the school district. The row had gained more momentum and taken new life as part of a larger issue.
