We will also adhere to the Baltimore City Public School System Exclusionary Dress Code published in the Information Guide for Parents and Students. The Exclusionary Dress Code addresses issues related to the safety of the students. It represents a cooperative effort between the New Board of School Commissioners, the Chief Executive Officer, the school principals, and the students of the Baltimore City Public School System.
