No extracurricular activities at all. Or
membership in activities open to all.

Public education. What a riot.
This is weird. Why should the school pay for prom? Perhaps it's because we live in different cultures but this sounds ridiculous.
In here school gives us our diplomas and that's practically it. If students want a "prom" they will pay for it themselves and usually they don't have it in school territory.
