AI Summary
This bill prohibits school districts from denying a student admittance to school due to tardiness or a violation of a school uniform or dress code policy, though it allows for enforcement of other student conduct codes. Specifically, it amends existing law to clarify that while school boards can adopt uniform policies, students cannot be penalized or denied entry if their parents opt out of the uniform requirement, and it adds a new section explicitly stating that tardiness or dress code violations cannot be grounds for exclusion from school.
