In June 2022, the Forney Independent School District announced a new dress code that bans all "hoodies" and hooded coats and jackets. It also bans dresses, skirts, and skorts for all except kids in prekindergarten through the fourth grade in an effort the district says will “help prepare students for a safe and successful future.”<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/06/24/texas-school-dress-code-dresses-skirts/ |title=Tex. school district bans dresses, skirts to promote 'workforce skills' |date=June 24, 2022 |author1=Timothy Bella |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |place=Washington, D.C. |issn=0190-8286 |oclc=1330888409}}</ref>
