Parents will have an opportunity to share their opinions on school uniforms at a 6 p.m. public forum Thursday at the Greensboro Center.
In January, the school board voted 3-2 to require all students to wear uniforms and charged school district administration with writing the policy and guidelines. At their next board meeting which was held last week, the school board voted, again 3-2, to table the policy until they heard from parents.
To date, Pickett Wilson and Eddie Myles have voted for uniforms and against tabling the issue. Bill Weeks and Keith Coble have voted against uniforms and for tabling the policy. Board president Walter Taylor cast the deciding vote both times.
The issue has raised quite a stir in the community, with the most vocal and organized lined up against uniforms.

Did they have to schedule the parents input meeting on the night we play Ole Miss in basketball? I really have not taken a side in the issue, but thought it was interesting that they would schedule a meeting to gain citizen feedback on top of a large athletic event.
