Board adopts student code changes but rejects allowing pajama pants
Summary
The board approved multiple amendments to the student code of conduct but specifically rejected allowing pajama pants in the dress code; the package passed by roll-call vote with that exception.
Caroline County’s school board on June 8 approved a slate of student code of conduct revisions after a second‑reading presentation, but members removed one proposed change: allowing pajama pants.
Mr. W presented five proposed revisions and asked the board for direction. A motion carried to adopt the proposed changes as a block but with a carved‑out exception removing the item that would permit pajama pants. Board members said they had participated in a prior survey and that the board consensus was to disallow pajama pants while other modernizations would be adopted.
The motion was adopted by roll‑call vote.
Why it matters: Dress code rules affect daily school culture and discretionary enforcement; board action narrows allowable attire while updating other code provisions.
What’s next: Staff will implement the updated code and communicate changes to families and schools ahead of the new school year.
