18 ago 2015 — UPDATE: NO CHANGE YET! Last night at 5:45pm the site base council held a meeting at the school. There has been a lot of questions raised as to why none of the parents supporting the dress code change spoke at the meeting. Let me try to address that. First, I had been asked prior to the meeting by a student if I would be willing to support them in their efforts to propose a new dress code, of course I welcomed the idea of the student standing up for themselves and did not feel it necessary to propose my own dress code if the students wished to do so. Second, the meeting agenda had the dress code being addressed at a specific time during the meeting, and the principal also reiterated the fact that a specific part of the meeting would be allotted to address the dress code issue, so I expected people would be given the opportunity then to speak on the issue. The beginning of the meeting was opened up for anyone to address the committee, I did not speak at this time because, I was waiting for the allotted time that was set aside to address the dress code after I had heard what the students had proposed and what the council had to say. However, no one was given the opportunity to address the dress code proposal or to address what the council had to say about the dress code when it was being addressed. The only one asked to speak was the student Maggie, whom had created the documentary and presented the new dress code proposal. The committee made the decision to pass the dress code issue on to a committee and that they would discuss it further at the next meeting on September 21, after the committee was given time to look into it. They also stated that even if the dress code was amended it wouldn't take effect until January 2016. I did not go to the meeting with the intent to have my voice be heard but to have the student body's voice heard. It would not have helped our position for a me or a bunch of parents to stand up and demand change. Acting respectfully and following the rules is after all what everyone one has called for isn't it? If given the opportunity to address the decision the committee made I would have asked two questions, how was the middle school able to so easily change the dress code without having to set up a committee and without having to wait till January to implement the changes? Also, why is the dress code that the middle school has not appropriate for high school students? I hope that the committee is truly willing to amend this code, but I guess we will have to wait till September 21 to find out. I think it is very important for all of those in support of this change be there and ready to speak up as the opposition has called us to do!
