JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Some families are again calling for major changes to their school district’s dress code and how the code is enforced.

It comes after the controversy at Bartram Trail High School last month. Multiple girls there said they were taken out of class and asked to change clothes.

One of the main concerns from parents is inequality, particularly in the difference in the rules for boys versus those for girls.

These parents say the dress code rules in some of the districts are not only outdated but that they’re actually doing more harm than good.

Female students at Bartram Trail in St. Johns County blasted the school’s handling of alleged dress code violations. Female students said they were being taken out of class and sent to the dean’s office to change clothes or face suspension.

Now, an online petition calling for changes at the school and the district has garnered more than 4,700 signatures.

But this discussion is not contained to St. Johns County.

Tracy Synan and her daughter Sloan have been calling for changes to Duval County’s school dress code, which she says is unfair to girls.
