Uniforms: Students
built 293 days ago
In this district, school uniforms are currently required from kindergarten through eighth grade in 70 schools, including approximately 60,000 students. School District press releases indicate that there is widespread parental support for the mandatory uniform policy. Although California law provides a clause allowing parents to request a uniform exemption for their students, less than 1% of parents have requested such exemptions. In efforts to aid students from financially disadvantaged families, philanthropic groups in the area have provided $160,000 in uniforms to Long Beach students. The table (Table A) in Appendix A presents the statistical evidence provided by the School District in support of their claims that school uniforms decrease crime.

The ASPIRA Junior Stakeholders, a group of students of vested interest in their Hunting Park community, hosted a Halloween party to raise not funds, but uniforms and canned foods to help their peers in need. The Friday, October 29th party was one of many Halloween parties held that night, but one of few efforts to serve the needy in the community.
