Section 45-49-102.04 Student dress code policy. (a) The Legislature finds and declares each
of the following: (1) The children of Mobile County have the right to an effective public
school education. Both students and staff of the primary, elementary, junior, and senior high

and the messages of violence contained in many aspects of our society, particularly reflected
in gang regalia that disrupts the learning environment. (2) Gang-related apparel is hazardous

and knives, have become common place upon even our elementary...
