School board rewords dress code ban
SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - A proposed policy to ban cross dressing in Suffolk Public Schools has been reworded by the school board.
The original policy banned "any clothing worn by a student that is not in keeping with a student's gender and causes a disruption and/or distracts others from the educational process or poses a health or safety concern."
The new student dress code removes the wording concerning the student's gender and states "...the substantial disruption and/or distraction, or serious health concern caused by student clothing, must be sufficiently documented in writing by the building principal or his or her designee.
Members of the Suffolk School Board originally intended for the ban to keep male students from dressing in female clothing and vice versa.
