CONWAY — Don’t call it a dress code ... but the Conway School Board voted 7-0 Monday to approve the first reading on the district’s new “personal appearance” policy.
In the policy, pajama pants are permitted, but hats and hoodies won't be allowed in class or in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School.
