Our dress code has been a problem for years. By signing this petition you agree that the dress code for Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School should be revised. This revision is specific to the fingertip length rule for shorts as this rule does not explain an actual length and should be changed to a rule of inches that can be specifically measured to ensure fairness among students and their possible dress code violations.

Updates

May 24, 2017

The feedback regarding the ambiguity of the current rule has been consistent and telling. I am currently compiling these accounts to present a clear proposal to the administration for a measurable standard.

May 24, 2017

The reach of this petition has grown significantly and indicates that our concerns regarding the dress code are widely shared. This momentum confirms that a clear and objective standard for student attire is necessary for our school community.

Honestly, as long as all private parts are covered, pulling someone out of class for a "dress code violation" because their shoulders, backs, or legs are a little too visible is absurd. The distraction isn't in the clothing. The distraction is in pulling a student out of class for no good reason and wasting that student and the entire class's time.

The last I knew you go to school for a education which is Math, English, History, Gym, Art, Science, Computers, Music, Health,Pre AP class, so when did (School code class) Clothes Fashion class start. 2nd when the dress code should go for EVERYONE but doesn't its just for a select few students that get into trouble.

The dress code is a joke. I want my children to be comfortable and not worrying if their shirts are the exact length. It's ridiculous.

I think we should be able to wear whatever we want aslong as it being still appropriate. We shouldn't have girls have to wear boy shorts because it has to be " finger tip length."

I've worn tank tops in class when it was too hot and nobody said a word about it, nobody was 'distracted', work always gets done and people don't care. The only thing this role is accomplishing is making girls uncomfortable with wearing what they want to wear on their own time because they think it makes them a whore and making guys seem like they're incapable of concentrating when there's a girl in the room. We are not a distraction and our clothes are not more important than our education. Stop taking us out of class, stop sending us home, stop making us miss tests and homework because you think all teenagers want to do is have sex.
