The Louisville Municipal School District Board met tonight (Monday, June 25) and dealt with multiple issues. We will have more details tomorrow. The dress code for school year 2012-2013 was also addressed. Assistant Superintendent Ken McMullan provided the Board with the initial handbook for the year and highlighted some of the dress code changes. McMullan indicated that the recent public meeting concerning any changes to the code was helpful and these changes should be of benefit to parents. Here are the major changes:
- In addition to the colors already allowed, gray shirts and black pants would be available options as well.
- First graders and kindergarten students would be encouraged to wear belts but it would no longer be mandatory for those grades.
- Types of shoes allowed would not change but there would typically be no color restrictions.
- A uniform exchange/swap program is being developed by a commitee of parents and teachers which would allow participants to exchange clothing in an organized event to accommodate children as they grow.
These are only the highlights as discussed in the board meeting and other changes may be involved that are not included here. The full dress code will be in the school handbooks when completed and will be available to parents prior to the school year.
As more information becomes available, we will update.
