Changes aplenty as Lee district begins new school year
Spring Creek Elementary is offering a new shirt for the uniform they've had for years. It features an embroidered school logo and can be purchased from the school. Principal Karen Leonardi said students described the new shirts as “cool." The school's uniform policy is similar to the one at Rayma C. Page, but allows students to wear polo shirts of any color. Students aren't allowed, however, to wear button-down oxford shirts. Both schools went through a similar process in getting the uniforms adopted. The process typically begins with a recommendation from a school advisory council, followed by approval from a majority of parents and development of a specific policy. When surveyed, 85.6 percent of parents at Rayma C. Page approved of the uniforms. “That's pretty telling when 8 of 10 parents were in favor for it," Lloyd said.
