LAS CRUCES - Las Cruces Public Schools will hold four virtual feedback sessions next week as the district considers proposed changes to its student dress policy.

The LCPS Board of Education reviewed proposed revisions to Policy JICA, Student Dress, during a June 2 work session. The district said the revisions are intended to clarify expectations for student clothing while supporting a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment.

According to LCPS, the proposed policy emphasizes students' ability to express individuality without unnecessary discipline or body shaming, while outlining standards related to safety, appropriate school attire and clothing that may disrupt the educational environment.
