SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - Cheerleaders at Seminole County schools have something to cheer about.
School district officials on Thursday decided that cheerleaders can be exempted from a new ban on short skirts for female students, allowing them to wear their cheerleading uniforms on game days.
The new dress code for schools in this Orlando suburb prohibits sexually suggestive clothing and requires that dresses, skirts and shorts be at least mid-thigh or below in length.
Some parents are complaining that the cheerleaders are getting special treatment.
But a district spokeswoman says that the new dress code allows school principals to make the final call on what dress meets the rules.
