Lisa Leppard addressed the board during public comment to renew a request from a prior meeting for revisions to dress‑code policy 221. Leppard said she’d spoken with administrators and appreciated their engagement; she asked the board to consider more modesty standards (specific guidance on necklines, midriffs and short lengths) and offered to collect data and meet with a smaller working group to continue the conversation.
She told the board she had reviewed previous minutes and said adopting a policy with clearer modesty expectations would be her preference, while acknowledging that full uniforms are unlikely. The board thanked her for participating and encouraged follow‑up outside the public meeting.
Follow‑up: Administration and board members indicated willingness to continue the discussion outside the full board meeting and to examine 2018 minutes and other materials that informed the prior policy revision.
