Ray Van"School Uniforms Defined
School uniforms range from the formal to the informal. Some schools that have
implemented school uniforms have chosen what one usually thinks of in connection
to Catholic schools: nice pants and white shirts for boys, jumpers and white
shirts for girls. However, most public schools are turning to something more
casual and more acceptable to parents and students: khakis or jeans and knit
shirts of varying colors. The latter appear to be more affordable too because
they can be used outside of school. Many school districts that have implemented
school uniforms have provided some sort of financial assistance for families
that can not afford the extra expense." -

-
- Make uniforms more casual - jeans and a knit shirt
- Allow students an outlet for their own expression: buttons to support political candidates, but not gang related paraphernalia
- Provide financial assistance to those parents who can not afford the uniforms
- Accommodate students religious beliefs. This is required by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
- Make your program voluntary if community pressure is too large
- Institute an 'opt-out' provision. Not including this would probably cause a court to rule against your program unless there is proof that lesser measures are ineffective.
- Make uniforms an integral part of the school safety program.
