Eugene White, who was in Fort Wayne Community Schools for 19 years and is now superintendent of Indianapolis Public Schools, actually seems to think adults should be in charge of schools:
Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Eugene White is calling for strict new rules he hopes will force girls to cover their midriffs and boys to pull up their sagging pants.White has marching orders waiting for a new dress code task force: Spruce up students' appearance."It's going to be a new look in IPS in 2007," White said. "I think the parents on that task force know what they want to see."His main targets are students who wear inappropriate clothes, such as the pants worn by teen boys that seem to sag lower every year, he said.Task force members, which will include parents, teachers, business leaders, faith-based representatives and others, could make minor tweaks to the dress code, he said, or recommend something more drastic, such as uniforms districtwide.
