The school board rescinded the uniform policy during this morning's session. I am now filing a formal request to ensure the student handbook reflects these updated dress code standards.
Recently the pbtisd school board has made it so that everyone from preschool to high school must wear uniforms. The school made the decision for us and now is continuing to add more to the dress code than we've had in the past ten years. Not to mention the dress code is in violation of article 19 of the handbook of basic human rights, adopted by the U.S. in 1948. Article 19 states that any and all people regardless of age, race, gender, or othwise are given the right of expression. By enforcing this strict dress code, they are not only stealing our rights as Americans, but as human beings as well. Therefore, by signing this petition we're allowing our voices to be heard.
The petition reached 250 signatures this morning. I have begun drafting a formal letter to the school board members to outline our concerns regarding the dress code mandate.

I am currently organizing the evidence regarding the handbook violations to present during the upcoming board session. My next step involves drafting a formal letter to the school board detailing the legal arguments against this policy.

A Public School has no need for uniforms. These uniform requirements will not be readily available for parents to purchase. The school made this choice without the input of the parents.

Deomocracy or Fascism??? What about Education? All this time and energy wasted over close.. how does this further our childrens education, I mean isn't that the main objective?! Seems we have lost sight of truth and are frightening for personal agendas that dont have anything to do with quality education!

Our kids should be able to wear what is comfortable to them as long as it fits the dress code. Nice jeans, tshirt or collared shirt. Tennis shoes of there choice. Nothing to revealing or torn up, some parents can not afford buying there kids new clothes every year let alone uniforms. I am very much against the mandatory uniforms.

The free dress is a way for kids to express their personality if we had uniforms no one would get to know each other as fast.

The way we dress does not affect our learning capabilities, and is only another problem for those without the proper attire. Thus leading to people spending large amounts of money on cloths they didn’t need to buy when they already had cloths for the upcoming school year.
