AUGUSTA — The Augusta Board of Education has updated the public school system’s policy on its student dress code, with two board members saying they did not think the changes went far enough.
The board voted last Wednesday on updates to the policy that had been discussed over the past several months. The last revision to the dress code came in October 2017.
The newly updated policy — “JICA — Student Dress” — is intended to be more inclusive of gender and culture, according to school officials.
