Summary: Board Policy 5132 and Administrative Rule 5132 provide the policy and procedures for implementing a voluntary uniform dress code. As required by the Policy and Rule, El Monte Elementary School notified parents multiple times of the proposed voluntary uniform dress code and actively solicited parental involvement. Of the 133 families responding to the dress code survey, 75% indicated support for the voluntary uniform dress code. The El Monte Elementary School voluntary uniform dress code will be implemented in fall 2010. The principal, staff and parents/guardians have jointly selected the specific uniform to be worn. Procedures are being developed to make uniforms available to low-income families (fall visit to Operation School Bell (OSB), donated uniforms by OSB and Uniform Direct store, PTA uniform scholarships and uniform exchange at Walkthrough) and to determine student eligibility for financial assistance (uniform scholarships). The voluntary uniform dress code will be included as part of the comprehensive school safety plan. Multiple notices will be provided in English and Spanish to the El Monte Elementary School community between approval of the plan and the implementation in fall 2010. A Timeline of Activities is attached.
