How to Dress For School

Approved After hours of discussion and debate, two board meetings, and hearing from members of the public, Callaway Public Schools finally has a new dress code policy. Well…almost.
There was a full house in attendance at the Sept. 9 meeting of the Callaway Board of Education, with the primary point of interest being a discussion on adopting a new student dress code policy. Several community members shared their thoughts on the issue before the board voted to approve the first reading of an amended policy. (Courier photo by Ellen Mortensen)
