School district
puts restriction
on baggy clothes
WACO, Texas (AP) — The
Midway Independent School
District has bagged baggy
clothing in an effort to keep
guns and other weapons out
of school.
The new rule, approved by
the district late Tuesday says,
"no shirts, jackets or coats
longer than mid-thigh length
(no longer than the tips of the
fingers) will be allowed.
"The only real changes are
the dusters and the jackets,"
Superintendent Randy Albers
told the Waco Tribune-Herald
for a story Wednesday.
"You're going to see more
issues on safety. You're going
to see more response to threats
— oral and written threats.
And we put new language in
there to respond to threats."
Assistant Superintendent
J.D. Kennedy proposed the
dress code change after a
school committee was shown
photographs showing how
baggy, untucked shirts and
long coats can conceal
weapons as large as rifles.
Kennedy said the violence
striking middle-class subur
ban schools across the nation
motivated the committee to
study the issue.
Albers said regular checks
may be carried out to enforce
the dress code.
Two existing rules require
all students to tuck in under
shirts and boys to tuck shirt-
tails "into the trousers unless
they are moderate in length,
cut square and hemmed
around the bottom."
Aside from dress code
changes, district rules for the
1998-99 school year prohibit
threats of physical violence,
Kennedy said.
Such threats will result in
immediate placement in in
school suspension until an ad
ministrator, counselor and
teacher determine whether po
lice should be involved.
