El Paso ISD dress code task force proposes 2025–26 changes focused on consistency and equity
Summary
The district's dress code task force presented proposed policy changes for the 2025–26 school year; the task force includes students, parents and campus representatives and the district said families moving from uniform campuses will be given time to adjust.
Diana Saavedra, superintendent of the El Paso Independent School District, said the district's dress code task force — which includes student, parent and campus voices — presented proposed changes to the district dress code for the 2025–26 school year focused on “consistency, clarity, and equity.”
Saavedra told the board that families transitioning from campuses with current uniform policies will have time to adjust to the new expectations. The presentation was described as a proposal; the transcript does not record a board vote or the text of specific policy language.
The item was framed as the result of “thoughtful conversations” with parents, students and campus staff; no implementation timeline beyond the 2025–26 school year reference and no enforcement details were provided in the transcribed remarks.
