Board advances first reading to broaden student dress code for cargo and religious attire
Summary
Trustees approved a first reading to revise the student dress code to explicitly allow cargo pants and toe-and-heel shoes and to permit Muslim students to wear their full attire, provided attire aligns with school-color requirements.
The Pleasantville Board of Education voted on a first reading to revise the district student dress code to explicitly include cargo pants and to allow toe-and-heel shoes. A trustee proposed language to make the code clear that Muslim students may "wear their entire attire" provided the clothing meets school-color requirements.
The motion for the first reading was moved by Missus Miller Furstane and seconded by Missus Harris; trustees recorded their votes and the chair noted 'Motion carries.' The change was framed as a clarification for the first reading, not as a final policy adoption; further formal steps (a second reading or final adoption) would be required under the district's policy process.
