Students and guardians are furious that the pictures of 80 young women were altered, leaving teenagers feeling embarrassed and ashamed while their parents demand answers and change.

St. Johns County School District Superintendent Tim Forson said in a statement that the “student picture situation” didn’t have “sufficient review of the steps taken before the decision was made to edit some student pictures.”

“Certainly, there has never been an intent to embarrass or shame any student for the clothes that they wear,” he said. “Unfortunately, we are learning a valuable lesson in the importance of process and understanding that the intent is not always the result.”

The edits were made by a teacher who is also the yearbook coordinator, according to Christina Langston, chief of community relations for the school district.
