(August 12, 2008)—Police were dispatched to a Gonzales School Board meeting after tempers flared over a new student dress code that requires some students to wear prison-like jumpsuits.

Nobody was arrested after the outburst at the meeting Monday night.

Gonzales superintendent Vic Salazar says there was a public comment period, and then some members of the audience started yelling at trustees about the dress code.

Two Gonzales police officers arrived to keep order.

The district's new dress code bans cargo pants and requires students to wear collared shirts.

Those in grades 5-12 who don't obey may also be put in blue coveralls the district ordered from the industrial arm of Texas prison system.

The coveralls are an option so students can comply with the dress code and remain in class.

Parents may still take students a change of clothes, or children can serve in-school suspension.

Rachel & Jeff, Yall to get real. The issue here is a dress code. This will help the learning enviroment for all students. Schools are a place of learning. NOT A FASHION SHOW OR BABY SITTING SERVICE. It seems now a days alot of parents are forgeting this. They dont care as long as the kids are not in their hair.
