EPISD task force proposes standardized dress code, student IDs and one‑year transition for consolidated campuses
Summary
District staff presented draft dress‑code language developed with principals, parents and students that would standardize allowed tops and bottoms, require student ID cards and provide a one‑year transition for students moving between uniform and non‑uniform campuses; ACLU guidance and teacher input will inform next drafts.
El Paso ISD staff presented an update from a district dress‑code task force and outlined recommended language designed to create consistent, less ambiguous rules across elementary, middle and high schools.
Project leads said the task force reviewed existing campus policies at 74 campuses, sought input from students and parents through zone meetings, and used guidance from the American Civil Liberties Union as a “north star” for inclusive language. Staff said the goal is clearer, specific wording so enforcement is consistent across campuses and less disruptive to instruction.
