SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 100
(By Senator Edgell)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study
public school dress codes and the use of school uniforms.
Whereas, Students wearing inappropriate or offensive clothing
to school is a problem in many of our school districts; and
Whereas, There may be social stigma attached to students who
cannot afford or may not be allowed to wear certain stylish
clothing to school; and
Whereas, Many families find the annual purchase of school
clothing to be a financial burden; and
Whereas, Many schools in other states are experimenting with
requiring a uniform dress code or school uniform because it may
affect discipline within the school; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study public school dress codes and the use of school
uniforms; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2005, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
