Maumee, Ohio (WTVG) – A Maumee mother’s Facebook post is gaining attention after she says her daughter was in violation of the dress code policy at school.
Logan Gray, 12, who is in the 7th grade at Gateway Middle School in Maumee, recalls getting dressed for school Monday morning.
“My mom bought me a new dress and it was really pretty, so I decided I was going to wear it to school the next day,” said Gray. “I was very excited and ready to show it off to all my friends.”
Gray says she wore a short-sleeved collared dress, over white tights and with brown leather boots.
“She looked very nice and it was kind of like a dress for church,” explained her mother, Francheska Gill.
Thirty minutes into her first class, Gray says she was removed and asked to go to the office.
“They said they had to measure it with a ruler and that it was above the dress code, even though it was only a half-inch over,” said Gray.
Gill says she was notified by the school shortly after 8:30a.m. that her daughter had violated the dress code policy and was not allowed to return to class until she had a change of clothes.
“Her dad had to drive up to the school and bring a different change of clothes,” Gill said. “I was extremely upset. I was just like, why? I called the school and wanted to know why she was dress coded? Why she had to change?”
