No School Uniforms in Mobile County Public School

We the PARENTS of these Students are the TAXPAYERS funding this school and we oppose a UNIFORM POLICY for the following reasons.

1. It does NOT IMPROVE the Grades of the students or the school.

2. It becomes MORE COSTLY as MULTIPLE Shirts, Pants, Shoes, and Jackets etc become needed to adhere to a UNIFORM POLICY.

3. It becomes more COSTLY for a parent who cannot afford to buy Multiple sets and has to increase the amount of Laundry done and water usage to do so.
4. It does not increase SAFETY of the students.

If the staff and faculty would strictly enforce the CURRENT DRESS CODE they have laid out in the student code of Conduct and start implementing the disciplinary action laid out in the student code of conduct including but not limited to: First Offense: Student shall be given a verbal warning and the parents or guardians shall be called.

Second Offense: Student is INELIGIBLE to participate in Extracurricular Activities for a period of time not to exceed 5 days and school principal shall call parents and meet with student and parent or guardian.

Third Or Subsequent Offense: Student shall receive an in-school suspension persuant to s.1003.01 (5) for a period not to exceed 3 days, the student is ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities for a period not to exceed 30 days, and the school principal shall call the student's parent or guardian and send the parent or guardian a written letter regarding the student's in-school suspension and ineligibility to participate in extracurricular activities.

Toughening up on the CURRENT DRESS CODE and ENFORCING Punishment to those who violate it and continue to violate it will eliminate any problems that may arise and will undo any action necessary to Implement a Uniform Policy that will create financial hardship and inconvenience for Parents and Students alike.
