Students in Colleton County Schools might not be allowed to wear jeans or hoodies anymore if the school board passes a new dress code policy. The new amendments take out this phrasing altogether. Also instead of hoodies, the new policy says that only crewneck sweatshirts are allowed. The revised dress code policy passed its first reading at last week’s school board meeting. One parent sent out a survey that already has nearly 400 responses from both parents and students combined. She comments most of the responses are not in favor of the change. Another parent says the district should be more worried about the poor behavior, lack of teachers, and overall education of the students first.
