The board finally reversed the decision and officially adopted the updated dress code policy this morning. I am exhausted by the back and forth but I am grateful that we stayed firm until they listened. We need to remain watchful to ensure they actually follow through on these rules once …

On July 20th, Fayette County Schools https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fayette-County-Schools/142084135855898 notified the public about the updated School Dress Code Policy. This policy stated only items that students were not allowed to wear. The Fayette County Schools facebook page further acknowledged this change and agreed that jeans and pants (blue, navy, black, white, khaki) and solid collar-less shirts in (blue, navy, white, black, and school colors) were allowed to be worn.
On July 28th, Fayette County Schools notified the public of another change, discrediting everything they agreed to on the previous policy change. According to the Fayette County Schools post, the school administrators/principals met and voted to reinforce the old Uniform Policy, with the exception or shoes - students are allowed to wear any type of shoe (besides, flip flops, house shoes and skate shoes).
According to line two of the Dress Code Policy 6.310 http://images.pcmac.org/Uploads/TennesseeSBA/TennesseeSBA/Departments/DocumentsCategories/Documents/6310_40.pdf, it states: “More specific guidelines appropriate for each school may be developed. Principals, faculty members and students shall be involved in the development of each appropriate set of guidelines.” If the principals voted to add these more specific guidelines of reinforcing uniforms, then the faculty and students also should have a voice.
Given the short amount of notice of change and the consistent back and forth of policies, we are asking that all parents please take a stand. Many parents and students have already bought new clothes based on the first policy change. Once the tags are removed and the clothing is washed, it is not able to be returned or exchanged. We are asking for parents to please sign this petition.
Also, please take the time to email each and every board member and let them know the amount of money you are out due to the last minute policy changes. Their email address are listed below.

The constant shifting from the district office is exhausting and it shows they think we will eventually just go quiet. We are nearing the five hundred mark and I need you to push this link out one more time so they cannot ignore the scale of our frustration.

The parents should have more notice of the change and once the change was made it should stay that way because we have already spent the money based on the first policy change. The principles should have been involved the first time the policy was changed to avoid this mess.
regulations are good, but suppression of someone's individuality isn't. Expression of ones individuality is important when growing up, and children spend most of their time in school. Stop worrying so much about the color of someone's shirt and more about their education.
They need to stick to the previous dress cod that was posted. I have already bought uniforms for 2 students that have been washed and can not be returned. I can not afford to buy another 2 sets because policy was changed a week before school starts.
i have already ordered all of my kids clothes off line it will not be here til the beginning of next week if they were undecided on the policy they put of before 7/28/2015 they should not of posted for the public and even told all of us through comment on the details on facebook
We returned what we could today, about $30 I'm shirts and bought those HOT, THICK polo shirts. I will be happy to return those and get back the collar-less shirts as my 6 year old HATES the collars and says they are too hot for summer.
I honestly think that fayette county schools don't have their stuff together. I have been going to fayette county schools since the fifth grade and out of all the teachers only about 3 have changed my life . So in my opinion they should stop worrying about our clothing and start worrying about our education.
Ain't no new dress code bihh

It seems this is putting an unnecessary economic hardship on the parents which will trickle down to students. Furthermore, the school board needs to get their act together and actually do something that benefits the students education.
