Three students were recognized by the Vernon ISD trustees during their business meeting earlier this week. Vernon High sophomore Katelyn McLaughlin was recognized for claiming a silver medal at the Class 3A UIL Academic State Tournament in Ready Writing in May.
Middle School students Saydi Flynn and Jadon Pearl were recognized for giving a presentation on the student dress code and how students of different body types have trouble finding some clothing, especially shorts, that meet the dress code. They gave their presentation to VISD Supt. Dr. Blaise Boswell and VMS Principal Katrina Price before the end of school. Due to their presentation, VISD administrators reworded the school dress code to help students with different body types find clothes that meet the dress code.
