There is no additional info at the link. It is a pretty sparse report and at first blush, looks like the school admin were morons. But consider that last sentence again. The settlement also says Redwood Middle School may no longer require students to wear only solid-color clothing. Ah, a dress code might have existed. Not very wise to do day one enforcement but what is so bad about a school having and enforcing a dress code? How did that get thrown out and what are the ramifications for other systems trying to get a handle on trashy dress?

...but what is so bad about a school having and enforcing a dress code?

I think the idea is that if it's important to have standards, then it's important to have important standards....
