When pinned, Mr. George’s locs do not extend below the eyebrows or below the earlobes, but officials have told his mother that her son’s hair is still in violation of the policy because it would extend lower than allowed if let down.

This strikes close to home for me. In 1965 I was a freshman at an all girl catholic high school near Philadelphia. My hair was just about touching my shoulders. The Mother Superior decided that long hair was too sexy and ordered that everyone must conform to one of three approved styles — a pixie short haircut, a bob that was no longer than your earlobe, or a top knot covered in a hairnet.
For some reason she singled me out and said I had to have my hair cut. My father came into school the next day and told her that he was taking me out of that school and I happily enrolled in the local public school.

This is no longer about hair length, this is about a school district refusing to admit they are wrong.

"...spending time at an off-campus disciplinary program, where he had been sent over his violation of the school district’s dress and grooming policy and other infractions."
In their rationale, might they be attempting to use hair length as an easier method of removing him in their hopes of avoiding "other infractions"?

I believe his other infractions are things like refusing to cut his hair and continuously returning to school with the same hairstyle.

Beginning to sound like they are keeping a "tickle file", or that is what an omsbud officer called it when my ex wanted to file a complaint about treatment in a student job years ago. Just keeping a list of minor negative interactions to blow up into infractions later for someone they want to get rid of.

OT - I’ve heard it as a “tickler” file.

I like "tickle file" better. These people must be tickled.

OOF! Public schools are public, so they will lose, as long as the parents can afford to fight. The school will gladly waste taxpayer dollars!
My school in the 80s had plenty of long haired hippies and headbangers (including me).
I grew it out again in the 90s,
again in the 00's.
again in 2015-18
I last cut it before last Xmas, now I'm sporting a 6 inch ponytail. My wife and daughters love it.
