CUTBACKS A8 Daily News staff

The Newport School Committee set up the community forum on a proposed uni- form code Wednesday night asking par- INSIDE ents opposing uniforms in the elemen- tary and middle schools to speak first today’s news and supporters of the policy to follow. By the end of the night at Thompson Middle School, where more than 50 par- ents gathered for the forum, it was all LOCAL opponents. No one spoke in favor of a mandatory dress code that would require GOOSE EGG HUNT girls to wear khaki or black slacks, skirts volunteer force or skorts with red or white polo shirts beginning in September. Boys would is growing across wear khaki or black slacks and red or county. A3 white polo shirts. The School Committee had approved that code in an initial 6-1 vote last month. SPORTS But by the end of the night on Wednes- day, committee members made it clear that code would not be passed in a sec- ond and final vote. The question was whether any mandatory uniform code would take effect at all. School Committee member Robert J. Leary, the lone opponent on the initial vote, noted that Woonsocket tried this year to require uniforms in public schools. The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the policy, and uniforms now are optional in Woonsocket. If Newport were to require uniforms, the first step would be a hearing at the Jacqueline Marque N Daily News staff photos state Department of Education if any Megan Kelchner, a junior at Tiverton High School, displays her entry in the Doodle-4-Google contest. opponent requested one, Leary said. The next step would be the courts, he said, Kelchner’s design was one of 107,000 entries received for the contest. asking whether taxpayers should be asked to foot the legal bill to make New- port a test case for mandatory uniforms. << MIDDLETOWN, “If you don’t make it mandatory, kids with uniforms will be singled out,” one TIVERTON go down GOING FOR GOOGLE mother said. “You can’t be half and half. swinging.
