Dress code inconsistency rankles students, parent
Placeholder Image
Two South Effingham High School students and one parent complained to the Effingham County Board of Education on Thursday about enforcement they called inconsistent and punishment seen as unfair for dress code violations in the initial days of this school year. Parent Michael Huggins told the school board he knew of “40-some” kids who were sent home from SEHS on the second day of school for not abiding by the dress code. The Effingham County School District dress code outlines a three-step process for violations, starting with a warning and the student being allowed to change clothes.
