Trustees were in alignment Monday evening, unanimously approving several policies and a land acquisition resolution during a regular meeting of the Coeur d’Alene school board.
It was the third reading for the Student Dress Policy, on which the board focused during its Dec. 4 workshop following several months of input from teachers and students and special efforts by members of the district’s Student Advisory Group.
Enforcement can be challenging when it comes to dress codes in schools.
When is a skirt too short? Are booty shorts OK? At what point do undergarments become a distraction? How much midriff, if any, is acceptable? And what matters more, disciplining students for what they’re wearing or the fact that they came to school at all?
Trustees of the Coeur d’Alene School Board hashed out some of these details Monday evening during a workshop at Midtown Meeting Center.
