This school needs work starting from the administration in the office. As an administrator, have professionalism in which is it lacking. Enforcing rules to the students should be a must and should be implied on the first day of class you cannot enforce something at the end of the year and expect the student to follow. You cannot tell me you will turn down a student's education because of their attire. Every student counts, and you are funded by every student that attends school. We pay your wages to educate our children not to be disrespected by the administration.
