\n\tWarm weather is here and so are shorts, tank tops, sandals, and the dress code reminders. Shorts must be finger tip length, t- shirts must be long enough that the stomach is not exposed, and sandals are permitted as long as they are not flip flops. However, day after day students break these dress codes. Flip flops are worn, shorts are way too short, and bellies stick out everywhere.
\n\t\u201c[Dress code violations] are a distraction. It\u2019s mostly females. If people would just follow what\u2019s in the handbook we would have no problems. I\u2019m sick and tired of seeing bellies!\u201d Mr. Butler said.
\n\tMr. Bulter also said that he gets complaints very often.
\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re not enforcing anything new. We are discussing some new things because we\u2019re becoming frustrated with students trying to skirt the system.\u201d
\n\tOne of the changes the administration is considering is that shirts for girls must have sleeves because guys are not permitted to wear muscle shirts. Because some girls wear low cut shirts, the school may start enforcing the \u201cyard stick rule.\u201d This rule is enforced \t(Continued to page 2)
\nDress Codes (Cont. from pg. 1)
\nby placing a yard stick from armpit to armpit on your chest and if the yardstick is above the top of your shirt, the shirt is inappropriate.
\n\t\u201cWe are considering going to the board and asking about uniforms. We\u2019re only considering that,\u201d Mr. Butler said.
\n\tMrs. Erb, the high school principal, also commented on the dress codes. \u201cWe\u2019re still in the process of deciding. We\u2019ve met with student council members.\u201d
\n\tMrs. Erb believes that the dress code revisions are necessary \u201cso that we can promote an orderly environment for learning. We don\u2019t want distractions.\t Teachers have been concerned about students\u2019 attire.\u201d
\n\tShe also added that teachers also are forced to follow a dress code. However, on designated days they can dress down, but they must pay two dollars, this money goes to charity.
\nStudents are knowledgeable of these revisions and have their opinions.
\n\tCourtney Russell, a ninth grade student said, \u201cI really don\u2019t care what other people wear. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair; I think that students should be allowed to wear anything they want.\u201d
\n\tPhilip Pellegrini, a ninth grade student said, \u201cYes, we should have school uniforms.\u201d When asked if he had ever noticed inappropriate clothing on fellow classmates, Phillip said, \u201cYes, every week at least once.\u201d
\n\tWhether students agree or disagree with the dress code, these codes are enforced and aren\u2019t going anywhere. Time will tell if the 2003-2004 school year may be a new year of dress codes, or even hold the possibility of uniforms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
