No Dress Code for East Stroudsburg Schools

No Dress Code for East Stroudsburg Schools - Monday, March 16, 2009 at 10:30PM EST

EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY- Wear what you want to - at least within reason in one area school district. A school dress code did not pass at a school board meeting in East Stroudsburg last night.
Stroudsburg already has a dress code in place and Pleasant Valley is set to start one next year.

The new rules would set standards for colors and styles of clothes high school students can wear.

Supporters said the dress code would improve school safety and diminish discipline referrals.
