What is the purpose of the policy on pants and shorts?
The requirement of pants with belt loops solves the problem of pants not remaining at the waist. The belt will keep pants firmly in place at the waist without the issues of “sagging” and “bagging.” The length of shorts, skirts and skorts had to be redefined as no more than three inches above the knee rather than “fingertip length” because of the significant differences in student height and arm length.
