The Tangipahoa Parish School System held a meeting on July 25, 2025, to discuss amendments to the dress code policy for students, particularly regarding the colors of leggings permitted to be worn under jumpers and skirts.

The meeting began with a motion to amend the existing policy to include additional colors for leggings. A board member proposed that students be allowed to wear solid leggings in the colors of black, white, navy, gray, or khaki. This proposal aimed to align with the current colors of pants worn by students, ensuring consistency in the dress code.

As discussions progressed, board members debated the inclusion of gray as an acceptable color alongside the proposed navy, khaki, black, and white. The amendment was clarified to state that students may wear solid leggings in these colors under their jumpers and skirts.

A point of clarification arose regarding the definition of "khaki," indicating a need for clear communication on the dress code to avoid confusion among students and parents. One board member suggested designating a specific member to address questions related to the dress code during principal calls, leading to a nomination for Mr. Anthony to take on this responsibility.

The meeting concluded with a call for a vote on the amended motion, which was set to include the specified colors for leggings. The discussions highlighted the board's commitment to ensuring clarity and consistency in the dress code policy, reflecting the needs and preferences of the student body. Further steps will be taken to communicate these changes effectively to all stakeholders involved.
