Description:  501-Schools Weapons Policy.  Removes Zero Tolerance from the wording
503-Student Attendance Policy.  Expanded definition of Excused absences and increased sufficient reasons to constitute excused absences.
504-Student Dress and Appearance.  Adds "Substantial Disruption", and provides guidelines for clothing that is protected.  Rewords procedures.

I recommend passing all three after the first read.
