New Castle School Dress Code

There comes a time when the past must leave or become altered for a better future. There should be a limit on what we wear in a school, but this limit is a bit far. Wearing what they want you to wear does not actually save time or money, as it is actually sometimes hard to find suitable clothes with the correct color and logo (or lack of (size of, brand, etc.).  I mean, why can't we wear a hoodie.  Am I going to slice a student with my hoodie after walking in through a medal detector and having my bag searched?  That's just one example. Removing amounts of these limits would help greatly, and it would be extremely appreciated by students and parents. Worth a shot, right?

Also, most kids just want to go to school in blue jeans and a T-shirt. That's not asking much.  We can't wear blue jeans and a lot of different kinds of t-shirts.  We want to be comfortable in what we are wearing.

--The Dress Code should still be appropriate.  I am not aiming to remove it completely--

I don't know for sure if we've gotten too far, but I hear the school board will be having some type of meeting about this.

I greatly appreciate your help, and I hope that this gets somewhere huge. I read a lot of the replies and agree a lot with many. I want this to impact us all in a positive way. There was probably some things I wanted to go over that I missed, but oh well for now. Thank you all so much! Your sponsor, Wade Zak.
