We are having dress code meetings

Our school district has decided the time has come for a stricter dress code policy and what they have come up with sounds very much like a uniform type code. Here are the specifics:

They are banning all jeans or anything made of denim.

No dresses

No shorts

Only polo type shirts or oxford style solid shirts will be allowed

All shirts must be tucked in and belts worn with pants

Skirts can be worn but only solids and no black.

No black pants either.

It is the first draft of the code we have 3 public meetings we can attend to address the issue one is today at noon, one is Monday at 7 p.m. and one is Thursday at 4 p.m. ( you attend whichever meeting is convenient for you) after these meetings the school board will type up the final code and distribute it to schools before it lets out on the 23rd.

My question is why did they wait soooo late in the yr to bring this up? I am attending the meeting at noon today and will let you know how it goes. I just hope it does not get ugly. The rezoning meeting we attended got pretty ugly.

What do you think???

Of those of you with kids already in middle school or ones going next yr as Zachary is do you think this is too strict or not????

Thanks for your opinions.
