The issue seemed to come out of nowhere. Umatilla school board members last month started by discussing how to resurface the floor of the high school gymnasium.
Soon, they found themselves talking about mandatory gym shoes. Students should have to wear shoes, they said, which are floor surface-friendly.
Then the discussion shifted to physical education clothes. Could the school strike a deal with a discount store to provide inexpensive shoes and clothes?
And then, in the middle of a confusing conversation between board members, school staff, parents and boosters, someone uttered the word âuniform.â
That was benign enough. Until a board member stopped the discussion to ask, âAre we talking about P.E. uniforms or school uniforms?â Blank stares followed. Then the gears began working again.
