Requires the commissioner of education to establish a uniform dress code across all public high schools
This bill requires the state education commissioner to create a single, standardized dress code for all public high schools. The code must specify details like clothing length, color, style, permitted logos, when the uniform applies, and disciplinary steps for non-compliance. Public high schools must implement this dress code to receive full state funding, as schools failing to comply would lose portions of their apportioned funds. The policy directly affects all public high school students and administrators across the state.
