Talking Points

Key points to make when writing a letter about the proposed standard school attire (SSA) policy:

  • Standard school attire should remain a school-based decision. This is already the current policy.
  • Research does not support any connection between school uniforms and improved discipline or safety.
  • The board’s study process has not been objective or impartial.
  • There are more effective ways to address these issues, such as teaching conflict resolution skills.
  • There’s increasing evidence that the Nashville community does not want this.
More details on each of these coming soon!

Follow-up on all these points can be found in the various sources on the right --> of the screen. But write from your heart as well; write for your children.
