Mark my words on this one..all the children in these schools that qualify for any assistance programs will be looking for the county...ie "we the tax payers" to pay for the clothes to comply with this new program. WCBOE spends more of our money....and the idiots in charge fall for this crap.

MSA reading scores of African Americans dropped in every grade 3-8, and MSA math scores for the subgroup dropped in grades 3, 4 and 7. If spending millions isn't helping, maybe changing clothing will. It can't hurt to try.

WTF...clothes will improve the quality of teaching and comprehension in the schools....WOW...anybody ever think it could have something to do with the fact that in the African American community the number of single parent households exceeds 70%?

Gary, you are trying to hold the African American community responsible, and that just isn't done in education circles.
