To determine whether to overturn Principal Tonya Kings decision on junior Jim Stack hair, the school board will vote on Monday night at 7 P.M. Jim Stacks wants to grow out his hair to donate for wigs for kids with cancer.

“Not very many donate hair. Anyone can donate money, but it takes time and dedication to grow your hair and donate it.” Stack said 

He plans on growing his hair to the minimum of the Locks of Love group who gives hair to kids with cancer and the  requirement is 10 inches.

“After I reach my goal of 10 inches of hair, I hope I can inspire more people in town to grow their hair and donate it.” Stack said.

The problem with this is that the boys student dress code is shorter than the shirt collar for boys.

“We have rules for a reason, and we can’t just break them anytime we want. The school would be in chaos then.” King said.

She doesn’t want one person breaking the dress code or else there would be more kids wanting to break dress code. She does however like the idea of him helping.

“There are other ways Jim could help Locks of Love group.”King said

Stacks could help by donating money, but Locks of Love needs hair more than anything.

“We desperately need human hair for our wigs. Every month we receive about 200 requests from families who cannot afford a wig for their sick child and every month we have to down about 150 of those requests.” president of Locks of Love Gisel Roco said.

The Locks of Love group is pleased with money but would much rather have hair and that Stacks hair would be a huge help.

“We will discuss it at the board meeting next week.” Bill Valdez
