Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Superintendent Rodney Trice told families Tuesday that all Chapel Hill High School students can get professionally updated 2026 yearbooks and that more changes are planned after 12 students were left out of the keepsake book.<\/p>\n

Krista Caraway, the parent of two students in the CHHS Exceptional Children program, raised the issue with school and district officials in late May after discovering that neither of her children was individually pictured or named<\/u><\/a> in the school\u2019s 2026 yearbook.<\/p>\n

The district initially offered to provide new yearbooks to the 12 omitted students, all of whom are in the school\u2019s EC program, along with professionally produced insert pages for other students who wanted to add them to their yearbooks.<\/p>\n

But Caraway pushed back, including on social media, asking the district to give every CHHS student a complete yearbook. She also has called out a recent social media video of Chapel Hill High graduates talking about their goals, none of whom were students with disabilities, she said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time students with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been left out of Chapel Hill-Carrboro school yearbooks, several parents and district alumni have said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA yearbook is not simply a book. It is a historical record of who belonged,\u201d Carraway said in a June 5 email to district officials. \u201cWhen students are omitted from that record, especially after previous warnings about disability inclusion and previous omissions, the harm extends beyond a printing error.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday update, Trice acknowledged the harm \u201cis felt not only by those directly affected, but also by our community, because our district holds high values of inclusivity and belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd while I regret that it may not be possible to undo all of the harm, we are working to make things right for the students and families who had every reason to expect proper inclusion, and so that we have an accurate 2026 Chapel Hill High School yearbook,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

After summarizing what happened and additional steps the district will take to avoid it happening again, he also asked families for help correcting online social media posts and comments \u201cthat draw false conclusions, contain inaccurate\/incomplete information, or make other accusations about this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven worse, the ugliest form of these comments make baseless judgments about what happened,\u201d Trice said, but \u201cmaking mistakes, correcting them, understanding their impact and learning from them is an integral part of life, especially in education.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not intentional, Trice said, citing gaps in the school\u2019s internal procedures and checks that led to the portraits and names of 12 EC students being left out of the yearbook.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart breaks for the students who expected to see their picture. I join our school and our district in accepting responsibility for this mistake,\u201d Trice said. \u201cAs superintendent and a parent, I recognize the harm and anger this has caused. I am deeply sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

How it happened:<\/p>\n

The district will give a new, professionally updated and bound yearbook to each Chapel Hill High student who was omitted, Trice said. Other CHHS students who bought yearbooks have two choices:<\/p>\n
