place of business, not a social club, therefore the dress and grooming
of a student should reflect the serious intent of one who is going to
work with an important job to do. In doing so, the district believes
that students dressing in a manner that is acceptable and appropriate by
the community will become more responsible citizens of the community.

Recognized, and all other campuses were rated as Academically
Acceptable. In 2006-2007, thirteen of the seventeen campuses earned one
