Revisions to the Woodland Hills School District dress code policy would have students revising their wardrobes next year if a plan for uniforms is passed in coming months.
Woodland Hills officials released details of the proposed district-wide dress code for the 2010-11 school year on its Web site last week. The proposed changes came following positive results from a parental survey, PTO requests and feedback from students at Woodland Hills Academy who have worn uniforms since that school opened in August.
The code would require all students to wear solid-colored polo shirts with black dress or casual pants. Girls would be permitted to wear black capri pants, skirts, skorts or jumpers, with skirts no higher than 3 inches above the knee.
Shirts could be long- or short-sleeved, could feature embroidered manufacturers' logos in the upper left corner and would have to be tucked in at all times. Pants would feature belt loops and be belted at the waist with solid black or brown belts.
The new dress code also would require students to wear solid black or white socks or natural shaded pantyhose and black or brown dress shoes, boots or sneakers.
Black shorts no shorter than 3 inches above the knee would be permitted for all students. All clothing would have to be appropriately sized. Spiked jewelry and body piercings other than earrings would be prohibited, pants length could not go past the bottom of a shoe, and pants width shouldn't exceed the size of the shoe.
Outdoor apparel, visible undergarments and unclean clothing also would be prohibited under the new code.
District communications director Maria McCool said parents at Woodland Hills Academy paid an average of $150 to $200 for uniforms, but estimated district uniforms would cost about $50 because its components can be bought at places such as Walmart and Kmart. In addition, the district would provide uniform subsidies to parents meeting dire federal poverty guidelines under the plan.
The school board discussed the proposed dress code during its Jan. 13 meeting. Parents will have opportunities to speak out about the plan until directors make a final vote in March.
Parents also may send letters about this issue to their school principal.
