There is a big sign in our school, 'Uniforms Mandatory,' but not all the students wear them. Our student body is transient, and purchasing different uniforms every time a student moves can be very expensive. Requiring school uniforms could be a hardship, especially on students who frequently move. Because of results like those in Long Beach, Chicago, and Birmingham, many schools are adopting uniform dress policies. Experts offer advice to those schools on how best to initiate it.
Students are more likely to wear a uniform they think is attractive than one they hate.
Make sure there are choices for types of tops and bottoms and perhaps even colors so the uniform looks good on different body types. Decide what the ramifications will be if a student does not wear a uniform. Decide in advance how your school will deal with this issue. Include an arrangement for students who cannot afford or choose not to wear uniforms. Some school districts collect old uniforms to distribute to needy families.
