LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- The Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) asking parents to give their input through an online survey.

The survey is for parents to provide input on dress codes and discipline guidelines for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Romalee Henry, owner of Cookie’s Sewing Creations, spoke about parents asking her to cut off and repair hooded winter coats for students. LPSS does not allow students to wear hooded coats under the current dress code policy.

"A single dad actually came in and he had, I want to say four kids, that he had to buy for. I did a deal. I totally understand being a parent back in the day, I understand," Henry said.

A Lafayette parish parent who wants to remain anonymous gives input on the dress code discipline category.

"They can do a a better job in investigating; and stop asking the kids to make statements they might not be writing the truth about," she stated.

Meanwhile, she's a supporter of school uniforms.  

"I am for it, it can save you a lot of money," the parent added.

The survey submission deadline for parents wanting to contribute to the dress code discussion is by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 1.
