3 children were suspended for uniform violations.
S_____ B_____ said her second grader followed the rules at Auburndale Central Elementary School by wearing navy blue pants. But he got in trouble when he wore last year's navy blue. "I sent him with the newer clothes first," B____ said. "But Friday, I sent him with last year's clothes. They were navy blue last year, but you know how you wash pants and they get a little faded." See Ledger article.
My son was sent to principal because denim shorts were not correct shade of blue. The principal said they were too old and when I explained to her that I had just removed the tags off those "old" jeans, she still didn't care what I had to say. They were then just simply "the wrong shade of blue". But I agree with you that even dark blue jeans will lighten with several washings. Then we'll have to go buy more! So when they this uniform policy is economical----they are wrong!!!! [Lewis Elementary, Ft. Meade]
At Lakeland Highlands Middle School, a student was told his shirts were unacceptable because they were the "wrong shade" of forest green - not hunter's green ."They make everybody stand up in first period to see if they have the right colors and stuff," said J____ K_____ 13, who attends Lakeland Highlands. "Then they tell you to go to the dean's office. There were about 30 kids in there Thursday. But they all switched shirts. "See Ledger article.
R_____ R_____'s daughter was made to change her pants because the overalls she wore were unacceptable at Eagle Lake Elementary. R_____ said she read the uniform policy over and over and couldn't find a place where it said overalls are not allowed. See Ledger article.
A parent reported that 30 to 40 students were in In School Suspension at Boone Middle School for non-uniform compliance. (Does that mean all those children refused a loaner?)
A child at Lake Alfred Middle School was held in detention for hours because her uniform shorts were too short. She was only given 10 minutes to eat lunch, and would have missed lunch entirely if a dean hadn't noticed her and remembered that she needed to eat. Her parents report that she is a straight A student who likes school, but has really been damaged by this incident.
