PEORIA, Ill. — Some school leaders in Peoria are going out of their way both to question and, perhaps to defend PPS District 150’s current dress code.
Peoria Public Schools Board member Anni Reinking is effectively at the center of it all so far.
25 News reports she recently drafted a survey and submitted it for public response, asking questions about the dress code, “for students, teachers and the larger community”.
Reinking has expressed the belief that the dress code may unfairly target girls in some way and wants to know how the public feels about it.
25 News says the dress code was written recently by a group of three PPS high school principals.
Board president Martha Ross said the survey was posted without proper approval from the rest of the Board.
Ross added any surveys or other related items approved by the Board will be formally announced and posted to its official website.
