CONWAY — The Conway School Board is expected to revisit a new student dress code when it meets Monday night, but the members balked when the latest draft revisions were brought forward by the board’s policy committee. Notably, there were concerns about pajama bottoms being seen as appropriate attire along with hats and hoodies being permitted in the classroom.
“When I first came on the school board (nine years ago), I was on the policy committee and I dared to mention, ‘Hey, do we ever deal with the dress code?’ I was told basically to shut up and never mention it again, and now I know,” Joe Lentini, chair of the board and a member of the policy committee with colleagues Joe Mosca and Jessica Whitelaw said on Feb. 28.
