MONT BELVIEU, Texas – Barbers Hill ISD Superintendent Greg Poole caused quite the reaction on social media Thursday after tweeting about a district sanctioned study.
Poole wrote that the study showed “statistically significant correlations” between higher academic success and safer schools, which had more stringent dress codes.
“(Barbers Hill) Board asked for a study of all (Texas) HS’s & HS’s with a hair code like ours are safer & stronger academically. Students are 10 times as likely to commit violent offenses in HS’s with no hair code. BH is the fastest growing in Houston & high standards in ALL areas are the reason,” Poole wrote.
