The school board had made it clear that they couldn't change school policy and that the stickers would remain.

However, new information came to light during a public comment, where they all agreed the images would not be covered.

"The enthusiasm from students that happen to be here today, this made me realize and think that looking at yearbooks and comments, who is to say that one comment is better than the other," Abby Sanchez, the vice chair with Seminole County Public Schools said.

"We should be able to voice our concerns and we shouldn't have anyone take that right away from us," Sanchez said.

ABC News said,

Seminole County School Board members rejected that plan Tuesday night, voting 5-0 to order smaller stickers that don't cover up the page's words and pictures while explaining that the March protest over the Florida Parental Rights in Education bill outside Lyman High School was unauthorized.

It was a good compromise, both got what they wanted but not everything. The school board agreed not to cover up the protest photos just the comments, while the students got to keep their photos of the protest against the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
