It was somehow in the SPAM queue and, well, I wasn’t paying attention until it was too late.

Can you resubmit? My sincere apologies.

This policy was a failure before it was ever implemented.

Get rid of the uniform policy. Quit wasting time and money on something as superficial as this. In fact get rid of the dress code altogether.

Try teaching, training teacher, paying teachers who actually do bother to get certified (since so few are).

How sad is it that we have 2 school in the within the city of Alexandria that are SO bad that they are looking forward to being taken over by the state?

We elected these people to do a job. We have the hold them accountable.

School Board: quit trying to create Stepford children and teach the ones we have!

Drop the dress code.

Teach.

He SHOULD be allowed to wear it! With pride!
