School officials took no action Tuesday night on the proposed uniform policy for students of the Starkville School District.
The board conducted a short business meeting after spending two hours hearing five annual administrator reports. All board members were present for the meeting.
The board was not asked to take any action on the proposed uniform policy as the item was on the agenda as a first reading. It was on the Feb. 2 agenda as a first reading, but the board voted them to table the matter until they could hear from the public on the subject. The board held a public forum on the issue of school uniforms Feb. 11.
Keith Coble asked a follow-up question raised at the forum. He asked Superintendent Judy Couey what she learned other school districts with uniform policy have spent on buying uniforms for those who couldn’t buy their own.
Couey said she contacted Oktibbeha County, West Lowndes, West Point and Columbus schools for data.
