Four girls from Portland , Oregon , testified in front of the Portland Public Schools board on its dress code.
"In a way, you're telling [a girl] that boys are more entitled to their education than she is," one girl said.
The school board agreed the dress code needed fixing, but that didn't mean it would be easy.
The final approved dress code is one of only a few like it in U.S ..
Portland just rolled out the new policy in the fall of 2016 , so it remains to be seen how it'll fare.
So far, Frack said, all she's heard from parents is how happy their kids are to be free to be themselves without judgment.
Frack just hopes this code can serve as a model to other districts looking to get with the times.
