Penalties could include an alcohol, substance abuse or mental health assessment to full suspension from participating in that extracurricular, according to the Des Moines Register report.
A Social Club employee interrupted the performance and asked the stripper to leave.
Roeder said the freshman student’s older sister, who he described as a graduate in her early 20s, suggested that the club “renew that tradition”. The school says no policies were violated by the event. There was no touching, and… the stripper didn’t complete their performance, ‘ Roeder said.
The stripper did not touch any of the girls, the parent said.
“A parent supposedly was there, but didn’t realize what was going on”, Graham Gillette told the paper.
The annual banquet is an event that takes place before the pageant of the Roosevelt Sharks synchronized swimming club, which is held from Thursday through Saturday. Gillette said the stripper appeared but didn’t totally disrobe at Friday evening’s event.
