At one point during Thursday night’s Milwaukee School Board meeting, a representative of a large supplier of school uniforms attempted to give testimony that his company could assure that there would be an ample supply of polo shirts, khakis and such for all of the students in Milwaukee Public Schools if the board approved a citywide requirement for school uniforms.
School Board President Mark Sain cut him off — testimony on the merits of the idea were in order, sales pitches were out of order, he said.
But the guy and his company clearly are in line to be winners from the board’s 8 to 1 approval of the policy on uniforms. Bring on large sales of polo shirts!
What about the kids? The staff? Learning itself? Will they be winners?
