Compliance Measures in a Mandatory Uniform School:

1. Schools that have adopted a mandatory school uniform program shall implement compliance measures as indicated below:
a. The school shall communicate on a regular basis with parent(s) or guardian(s) so that the expectations, rationale, and benefits of this program are fully understood by the student and his/her family. Each school should strive to achieve full compliance through the use of incentives and positive reinforcement measures.
b. Disciplinary action may be taken to encourage compliance with this policy only when incentives and positive reinforcement measures have failed to achieve compliance. Since the intent of the policy is not to inhibit or prohibit any student who is not in uniform from receiving the education to which he/she is entitled, no student shall be suspended from school; expelled from school; or receive a lowered academic grade as a result of not complying with the program. Disciplinary action should be initiated only after all other means to secure support and cooperation as mentioned above have not succeeded.
2. Specific Steps to be Taken and Penalty for Consistent Violations:
a. For a first violation, the child’s teacher contacts the parent(s) or guardian(s) and notifies the principal that a violation has occurred.
b. For a second violation, the teacher refers the student to the principal who contacts the parent(s) or guardian(s) by telephone and in writing that a second violation has occurred.
c. For a third violation, the principal sends a letter and telephones the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the third violation.
d. For a fourth violation, the school administration arranges a parent(s) or guardian(s) conference and reiterates the parameters of the program and consequence of future violations.
e. For a fifth violation, the student is removed from class for one (1) full-day and completes classroom assignments provided by the classroom teacher in another part of the school.
f. For a sixth violation, a parent/student conference is called which includes representatives from the school administration, the child’s classroom teacher, and a representative from the school uniform committee. A final warning is given to the student and his parent(s) or guardian(s) advising them that another violation will result in reassignment to another school. This same information will be forwarded to the parent(s) or guardian(s) in writing, as well.
g. On the occasion of a seventh violation within a school year, he student will be reassigned to a school that does not have a mandatory school uniform program.
