Question about public schools

There are probably young women in hijab in most of our US public schools. Has anyone seen public high school or middle school girls in a full burka, with either her face not showing at all, or only her eyes showing? I haven't. Most of the muslim girls in our school don't even wear hijab. Some wear a scarf and long pants/long sleeves. But I haven't seen a school girl (or teacher) in a full burka.

Some of the inner city schools around here prohibit kids from wearing hoodies, for security reasons (hoods can obscure identity.) I wonder if any US school districts have had to make rules about full burkas.
