QUESTION
There is rumor that our local high school might withhold diplomas at graduation (but have grad. ceremony) an mail them out later. Is this legal?

More details to this question:
The school might not give actual diplomas at graduation, and will just hand out the diploma case at the ceremony (to make it look like graduates are handed something) and then mail out the actual diploma later. This has something to do with number of school days required by the district, and that they might have to make up snow days etc. So if a student has met all requirements for graduation can they legally hold back the diploma from the student for this other reason that has nothing to do with the student? Is this legal?

This is not an uncommon occurance. I have heard of this happening before.
