[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at one such school in Alexandria and the principal is pushing uniforms heavily this year. It’s causing a lot of anxiety for my autistic sensory sensitive kiddo. I wish they’d just drop it if it isn’t required or enforceable. I don’t even understand how it’s equitable since poor families have to buy them, maintain/replace them, and wash them. Where is it stated that it’s optional?[/quote]

Google and you’ll find that it’s supposed to be voluntary and very relaxed (though individual principals may need to be educated on these standards).  Some of the reasoning comes down to First Amendment rights to freedom of expression. A few examples.

Also want to add that students need to be accommodated for disability, religion, etc.  Your child cannot be forever to wear a uniform in public school.[/quote]
