Dress code[]
Beginning circa 1998 the district required elementary and middle school students to wear standardized dress (school uniforms). This was ended in 2018 as low income parents complained that the standardized dress caused their clothing expenditures to rise, and as teachers felt that policing the student dress caused too many absences and used too many class resources.[4]
