StarDate 100801 - The Alamo Springs Independent School District board of trustees Tuesday night approved an administrative recommendation to adopt a district-wide dress code. The administration is recommending uniforms based on the popular Star Trek series.
“Research shows that districts where students wear school uniforms experience a decrease in disciplinary problems and bullying,” said J.T. Kirk, superintendent. “Although some report increases in absenteeism from alien abductions. But that has not been my experience in alternate timelines.”
During discussion, board members raised concerns about which version of the TV series would be used as a model for the uniforms.
“Actually, we are leaning toward the spandex styles worn in Star Trek: The Next Generation,” said Kirk. “Those are very flattering and we think they look sharp. The velour uniforms from the original 1960s TV series seemed harder to keep cleaned and pressed.”
Board members also directed administrators to incorporate the official school colors of silver and crimson in the two-tone outfits.
To introduce the new look to the community, district personnel will emcee a fashion show at the local mall on Saturday, where students from pre-school to 12th grade will model the science fiction uniforms. The public is encouraged to attend, dressed as their favorite Star Trek character.
Maintenance workers, custodians, and bus drivers will don Klingon warrior garb while on duty. Administrators will continue to dress in conventional dark suits, oxford shirts, and striped ties, including the women.
On next month’s agenda, the board will entertain a proposal to rename the school’s athletic teams “The Scrapping Shatners.”
