Currently at Ann Sobrato High School, there is no policy preventing teachers and administrators from dress coding students during class time. Teachers and other staff members/admin often send students out of class during learning and instruction time to the front office to change out of their "unacceptable" clothing. Little do they realize that actions such as these are causing more bad than good in the long run.

If the whole point of dress code is to eliminate distractions, why are teachers and staff allowed to interrupt students' class time to send them to the office to change into a different shirt/outfit? This not only gives the "out of dress code" attire more attention, but it ultimately wastes class time for both the student in question and their peers.

By signing this petition, you are agreeing that ASHS should add a policy stating the following:

Teachers and staff members at Ann Sobrato High School are prohibited from dress coding any student during class time, as it wastes time, draws more attention to the inappropriate attire, and causes a greater distraction than the out of dress code clothing.
