This school year, Jeffersonville High School implemented small changes to the student dress code. The most significant change involves shorts and skirts. The new rule is that they should be longer than fingertip length. Previously, they needed to be knee length. The same fingertip rule applies to holes in jeans. The dress code was also changed to allow exposed shoulders if the shirt has some kind of sleeve. The JHS Student Council, working with the JHS Administration Team, then clarified that students cannot wear completely off the shoulder tops.
“The new dress code is definitely a positive step forward for the student body but could still be revised to include more, still appropriate, changes.”
Alexa Roach, Senior
“You don’t come to an institution to be fashionable. You come to learn skills to better you in the working field.”
Sean Hyatt, Junior
“I think it’s okay, but it’s never been a problem for me because I don’t understand the thing about kneecaps or shoulders.”
Kaitlyn Hill, Freshman
“I like the change to the dress code and I really like that the students got a say in it. But I feel like this dress code is harder to enforce, because a lot of outfits are borderline.”
Mr. Esarey, Social Studies

The dress code updates did not include any changes or clarifications related to leggings. You can see the dress code on page 33 of the Jeff High Student Handbook. http://gcs.k12.in.us/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/JHS-Student-Handbook-2019-2020.pdf

So unless someone takes the time to enforce the dress code the dress code is just a suggestion
