Twelve students with disabilities were left out of their high school yearbook.

The teens were omitted from Chapel Hill High School’s yearbook this year, according to WRAL. Parent Krista Caraway learned of the omission when she discovered that her two children with disabilities were not included in the memorial book for the North Carolina school. “[My son] called me around 1:30, 2:00, very upset, and he said, ‘I’m coming home,’ which is very unlike him. And he said, ‘I’m not in it,’ ” she told WRAL. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools later confirmed to WRAL that those who were left out of the yearbook were students with disabilities. The school district said they were “inadvertently” left out, and the error was attributed to an internal procedure. 

The school district said they were “inadvertently” left out, and the error was attributed to an internal procedure. The affected students are expected to receive updated yearbooks, a spokesperson for the school told the outlet. News and Observer reported that the school is  also making insert pages available for others.
