Are you spending more time on dress code violations than instructional leadership? Or, has your school found that "silver bullet" policy that helps you spend your time where it counts? We’d like to hear from you. As we engage in back-to-school staff trainings across the state, many schools fall into the same discussions about balancing respectful dress and freedom of expression. Discovering that fine line in between allowing students to express themselves through dress while at the same time being respectful to themselves and others is a tough journey for schools. 

This is an area where we can all learn from each other. If you have a policy that is working that supports a positive culture in your school, please leave your comment below or email Scott as soon as possible. We’d love to hear what you are doing and be able to share your successful systems with other principals.
