Background:
|
At its November 2017 meeting, the Board referred Resolution 1718R-012 by Director Voss regarding Administrative Procedure 8.20 School Uniforms to the Committee on Legislation, Rules and Policies.
The resolution is aimed at amending the portion of Administrative Procedure 8.20(4)(a) that focuses on the opt-out component that is part of the MPS uniform policy. Currently, schools must conduct a yearly vote of parents/guardians detailing 66% of the school community's agreement to opt out of the district's uniform policy.
To achieve greater efficiencies, the resolution suggests that this process take place every five-years instead of every year. Thus, any school requests to opt out that were approved for the 2017-18 school year would be valid for five years.
The Administration supports the intent of the resolution. |
