As a former Montanan, this situation didn’t really surprise me, though it made me wonder if “natural hair color only” means the student’s natural hair color (ie no Clairol or Sun-In allowed), or just that students must sport a hair color found in nature? As you’ve probably already argued, I would wager that at least half the girls and a significant portion of the boys in most American high schools (likely including hers) are dyeing/highlighting their hair.

Good luck to you and your daughter – maybe in a few years she will dye her hair rainbow colors and run for the school board!

So is your daughter in or out of school, wearing a hat, cut off her hair, re-dyed, home schooling or what while you pursue this administratively? BTW, the text box runs off the screen for me to (IE 6.0).

That is just “chain of command”.
Sorry to say with the superintendant looking to leave us … you may have to battle this for quite a while.
Did you keep your children’s school handbook from the beginning of the year? That may help with further actions as well.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the report…I’d wondered how you fared.

Isn’t it interesting that the folks we elect to represent us on the School Board can’t talk to you till you’ve battled the bureaucracy?

Hope to see your ‘rest of the story’ soon!
