In the wake of a controversy involving the altering of yearbook photos, the St. Johns County School Board said Tuesday it would form a broad-based committee to consider changes to the district's dress code policy.
School officials issued several proposed revisions to the current policy Monday, but at Tuesday's board workshop many parents said the changes don't go far enough and continue to unfairly target young women.
The news comes as the school community has been thrust into the spotlight with national and even international attention focused on the editing of some female students' yearbook photos at Bartram Trail High School. The images were digitally altered to minimize cleavage and add more clothing.
