Tambark Elementary School is imposing a dress code that requires school uniforms for all students. This decision was made unethically, and without any input or prior notification to parents and students. The district needs to suspend this uniform policy for the 2019-2020 school year, and make the decision with parent/student representation (i.e. the PTSA) for the 2020-2021 school year. Having our children's 1st amendment right to freedom of expression through their clothing taken away without discussion or representation is demoralizing, and erodes the values being taught in terms of civil rights and the freedoms our constitution guarantees us (including children). Site specific dress code changes need to be made with PTSA and school administration as equal partners.
