SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - School leaders in Savannah have been considering changes in the dress code for teachers.
The Savannah Morning News reports (http://bit.ly/29EZsZp ) that the changes are being discussed after the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools received complaints about teachers and employees with piercings, tattoos, stilettos and revealing necklines.
The proposed changes included a ban on personal listening devices such as iPods, chewing gum, wearing athletic shoes, unnatural hair coloring, excessive cologne, flip-flops and denim.
The Savannah newspaper reports that school board members were supposed to review the proposed changes at a recent meeting and vote on it in August. But they changed their mind after receiving negative responses from the community.
School Board President Jolene Byrne said teacher input should be gathered before the issue is brought back before the board.
