Vermont school apologizes for girls-only dress code assembly

(AP) — School administrators in Vermont have apologized for holding a girls-only assembly in which female teachers addressed dress code violations.

Woodstock Union Middle School Principal Dana Peterson apologized at a public forum on Wednesday, saying he "misstepped" by singling out girls.

The dress code requirements include a ban on shorts with a less than 7-inch inseam and on sleeveless shirts with straps less than 3 inches wide.
