Welcome. You'll find comments and information here about education in Tennessee with a focus on Nashville as well other issues as I keep an eye on legislation and news. You'll quickly realize I'm a conservative Christian who isn't the quiet submissive type and doesn't mind rankling, if necessary, to get the job done.

It's a bit early, doncha think?
Why would anyone attempt to shop for SSA while the policy for NEXT year is still being written and store buyers haven't been able to reference that policy to determine what to stock? The capitalist system is good--but it's not clairvoyant.
Because of "Metro Schools' promotion of the sales tax holiday this weekend as an opportunity to purchase clothing for next fall meeting the new uniform requirements."
I'm thinking not if they are already out there spinning their wheels, wasting their time and money on obtaining what hasn't yet been defined.
I'm thinking not if all it takes is a word from the BOE Chair or a flyer in their child's backpack to send them to the mall.
I'm thinking not if they say SSA is infringing on their parental rights and their child's rights to free speech but they're out there shopping.
It may be an 'opportunity to purchase' but it's certainly not the best opportunity. Slow down a moment and do some planning. It'll ensure you get the right kind of clothing and likely at a better price.
From the very post you linked:

Are these thinking parents and consumers or not?
