The Dress Code Committee will be tasked with providing a recommendation to the school board, as the school board has final say over district policy. Any changes to the student dress code would go into effect at the start of the second semester. To be clear, the current Waterloo Dress Code Policy should still be followed in all buildings as no changes have been made.
