UPDATED: No surprise here, but the Waxahachie school board repealed the dress menu that WISD school board trustees enacted on a 4-3 vote in February. I guess the only way to get the establishment/WISD administration stance enacted is to make sure that contrarian voters Mark Price and Lorinda Yates are out of town...because they were out of town for this vote last night...
Big school board meeting tonight, and conveniently, trustees Mark Price and Lorinda Yates are out of town. They were two votes (along with the now-retired Jim Phillipps and trustee Evelyn Coleman) that voted for a dress menu in WISD that stipulated solid-color only clothing, no baggy pants, no suicide bombers, etc.
Well, so ironically convenient, but the WISD will take up this issue again tonight. The dress menu passed on a 4-3 vote in February, but with Yates and Price out of town, trustee Dr. Joe Langely and trustee Floyd Bates are looking to overturn that decision.
Last year's dress code was a bit more relaxed, but now, tonight...we could see some under-the-radar fireworks...and an even bigger finale once the truth about how the WISD administration has pulled a fast one when no one was looking --- or in town.
The board actually finally listened to the will of the people. Shady was enacting the "dress menu" behind the public's back. They have no real reason for uniforms and the public does not want to incur the extra expense or pay for those who cannot afford uniforms. Like they say, elections have consequences and there is no such thing as a law that can't be overturned. I am as conservative as they come and believe in personal accountability. If you want to enforce a dress code, enforce it. Stop worrying about funds based on attendance and send the few guilty home instead of punishing the masses!
