When the Standardized Dress Code was proposed, HISD sent out 2000 surveys to parents. The majority was "strongly opposed" even when HISD was considering including blue jeans in the dress code. During meetings 100's of parents made their voices against the dress code heard, but it apparently fell on deaf ears. We only slightly relented when told that blue jeans would be included. Then the school board that we elected to represent the people of our great town went behind closed doors and voted for the Standardized Dress Code anyway. We must fight for our children and our way of life! We are not a metropolitin area riddled with crime nor are we a private school to mandate such a strict dress code. We are a proud and hard working rural community in which blue jeans are a staple of our culture. Pay attention to our children's pleas, jeans are the biggest issue, but not the only. They also want to take away acheivements that our children worked so hard for like the FFA/4-H jackets that the kids worked so hard to earn, the belt buckles kids win from putting so much effort, time, and money into raising an animal for fair, cubscout shirts, even the Huntsville Hornet shirts that they take so much pride in wearing. Independant studies have been done and contridicts what the HISD appointed committee has said. There are a lot of issues at hand! Sign this petition in protest against the Standardized dress code. The people who are supposed to represent us may finally listen: Mr. Montgomery,  Glenn Green (or the person that elected in his place), Jimmy Langley, David Baker, David Stanlee, and Riley Tilley. Patrick Antwi abstained but will hopefully vote for the majority if board will reconsider.
