The school board, by a 4-3 vote put into effect one of the most restrictive school uniform policies in the country. This has far reaching and national implications. To view a sample of personal accounts concerning the overzealous enforcement of this policy, visit Uniform Incidents on this page.
Many accounts seem incredible, but all are true and many are cited in the lawsuit.
154 Polk county families have filed a lawsuit against the Polk County School Board in an attempt to defend their rights. Since the initial filing of the lawsuit, there have been various pleadings filed. One is now in front of the federal judge awaiting his ruling. The filing of an injunction is forthcoming. So far only one scientific study has been published on uniforms, and it shows that they don't work as promised.
