All students were notified about this and as they registered, they were asked for vaccination information,\u201d the school added, linking to a website that provided information about the prom to students prior to the event. That website, however, does not mention the use of markers to distinguish students who had not been vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo contract tracing system is perfect for crowds this large and not all students could be traced in a prom environment,\u201d the school wrote. \u201cHowever, without a contact tracing system, all attendees would have had to be quarantined if there was a positive case tied back to the event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The school said that no COVID cases have been linked to the prom so far, which was held on June 4.<\/p>\n<p>The Herald reported that the \u201cprom attendee list did not include the numbers assigned to the students, and only one set of cards with that information exists for tracking purposes.\u201d The school told the outlet the cards would be destroyed \u201cin the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the school\u2019s statement, Principal Mike Monahan stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>We are aware that some concerns have been expressed that students were singled out or had their privacy violated. We made every effort possible \u2013 while adhering to contact tracing guidelines \u2013 to ensure that this did not happen. We hope the community will understand that while no model is perfect, this model let the students enjoy a close to normal and highly desired experience to cap off their senior year. That\u2019s the memory we want to leave them with.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>David Ryan, superintendent of New Hampshire School Administrative Unit 16, said the district takes \u201cthese concerns very seriously and as a result, we will be conducting an internal audit of the processes that the school developed and used at prom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
