Over 20 students were sent home from school Tuesday after officials say they weren't dressed appropriately.
Greene County School District Superintendent Patrick Miller says the kids were sent home for not complying with the new dress code. He says on day two of the new uniform dress code --- there was a significantly less number of students who weren't within the rules. Miller says most of the students were in the high school and dealt mostly with pockets that went half way down the pants. Regardless, some parents are upset.
Superintendent, Patrick Miller, says the intention of the new policy is to keep the students safe... And if parents need assistance buying proper clothes to call their local school administrator.

I love the dress code with the exception of the coat rule. The dress code helps to keep children of all ages from being picked on if the parents cannot afford to buy the $5o to $75 clothes. We all know that children can be very cruel. I have seen children this week walk in and my son has told me that they wore them all day and they were not within the dress code, but when my son wore a coat that was not within the dress code he was told to take it off. It should be the same for everyone. If they cannot wear coats in the building then the temperature should be comfortable so they don't need one. When my son and I went to open house his home room teacher had a dress on that her breast were basically hanging out of. That should not be allowed for any time that students are going to be present and when there is an after school activity like a ball game the students should not be allowed to be there with there uniform pants hanging half way there cheeks either.

I for one am so glad to have a dress code. our staff also abides to a code of Kakhi pants and polo shirts. Our students look nice, and their self esteem has increased. Talking to other teachers at middle school and high schools, they said the biggest impact that see is an improvement with discipline. We used to spend so much instructional time asking kids to tuck shirts in, or pull up pants, etc...now every teacher can spend time teaching. Those of you that complained that administrators didn't enforce the dress code, they should have had zero tolerance, but parents let their kids walk out of the house looking like hookers or with clothes 30 sizes too big. Teenagers are hard enough to get to follow rules, but everyone needs to get behind the students. I AM HAPPY TO HAVE UNIFORMS AND WEAR THEM TOO!
