What kids wear to school in Henrico County has gone from a school-by-school decision to a countywide policy.
Two pages of dress code were adopted by the Henrico County School Board today as part of revisions to the Code of Student Conduct, which goes out to students and parents at the beginning of each school year.
The revised code also includes more detailed regulations on laptop policies, cell phone use and transportation.
The previous dress code consisted of a paragraph giving broad guidelines -- no revealing clothing; no exposed undergarments; no headgear worn inside, except for religious purposes; and no apparel that conveys an inappropriate message. Each school was expected to establish age-appropriate expectations.
The new dress code provides specific guidelines ranging from the length of dresses to the tightness of clothing.
For details about the policy, see tomorrow's Richmond Times-Dispatch.
