discussion on dress codes and safety policies in

Fayette County schools is scheduled for Thursday

at 7 p.m. in building A of the LaFayette Center

(formerly Fayette County High School).

Wayne

Robinson, director of secondary operations for

the school district, will conduct the meeting,

which is open to students, parents and members of

the community. "We need your help and input

to guide us," Robinson said.

The

initial meeting of the Safety Task Force, which

was formed to address parental concerns over

security in the county's schools, was June 24.

Some of the proposals emanating from the session

included tightening the existing school dress

code, making enforcement of the dress code

uniform in all the county's schools, and

eliminating back packs and book bags in middle

and high schools.

Task

force members also are working on unifying the

emergency procedures and crisis plan for all

schools, and adding security cameras and metal

detectors to school entrances.
