Silsbee School Board to Review Amended Dress Code Next Week

The project stems from a February 9 board vote authorizing SHS Student Council with counselors and administrators to draft changes. Students seek longer men’s hair, slacks for girls, and sandals without socks, though consensus on men’s hair length remains unsettled.
