LAS CRUCES - Las Cruces Public Schools will host a virtual feedback session Monday for Spanish-speaking families to weigh in on proposed revisions to the district’s student dress policy.

The LCPS Board of Education reviewed Policy JICA, Student Dress, during a June 2 work session. The district said the additional feedback session is intended to give Spanish-speaking parents an opportunity to provide input ahead of possible board approval.

Families can review the proposed policy in Spanish here.

The virtual meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 15. Families can join the meeting here.

Spanish-speaking families can provide feedback through the chat feature during the virtual meeting. Families can also give verbal feedback during the session, which will be captured and translated for the Board of Education.

Feedback is also being collected in English and Spanish through the LCPS public input portal at input@lcps.net.

LCPS said the proposed revisions are intended to clarify expectations for student attire while supporting a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment.

The district said the policy emphasizes that students should be able to express individuality without unnecessary discipline or body shaming, while also outlining standards related to safety, appropriate school attire and clothing that may disrupt the educational environment.
