Respectfully Submitted,

Feel that uniforms are a way of life in the area. Most schools have a uniform requirement and at higher prices than we do. Do not feel that price is a deterrent to enrollment.
Feel there are too many problems tied to dress codes. It opens up too many options. Too tight, too short, too exposed. Doesn't make it look like a uniform group or represent us well when going off campus.
Would like to explore local uniform shops even with price increases.
No changes needed to current uniform policy. But need backup options for students in need, if they are cold and they don't have a uniform coat, etc.
