Pike issue ot a dress code tor students was brought up by trustee Margie Goodman at the first North Vancouver School Bound (NVSB) meeting last week of the new school year, Goodman said) she has visited several schools ino the district and says seme of the clothes sie has seen students wearing are “appropriate”. “P've seen shirts with marijuana written on the front. [ve seen kids in ripped shirts, and Pve seen kids wearing shorts when it hasn't even been a very hot day outside,”* said Goodman. North Vancouver School Board adopted a dress code policy in 1959. It was reviewed in 1984 and brought up for review again at the NVSB meeting. The current dress code states that students in both elementary and secondary schools ‘shall be conven- tional, neat and clean.’’ It goes on to say that the principal of each schoo! ‘‘will be the judge’ as to whether a student’s dress is acceptable. According to this policy, any prin- cipal can expell a student ‘‘whose dress code is judged to be inar- propriate.”’ Goodman argues the present dress code policy is not being enforced by school principals. “It’s high time our principals said look, this is the dress code, and you're not going fo wear green, yellow and purple hair in this school,’* said Goodman. *‘Our prin- cipals are not enforcing this dress code and they shou!d be sat on.” North Vancouver Teachers Association (NVTA) president An- dy Krawezyk said the school board should not be wasting its time with such menial concerns us dress codes for students when there are far more important issues to address. “fo think there are much more serious issues in schools whether they have to do with staffing, whether they have to do with needed resources, than what the heck the kid wears When he or she walks into that classroom,’’ Krawezyk said.
