Charles T. Koontz Intermediate School 305 Overlook Road Asheville, NC 28803 828-684-1295 Robin Board, Principal Chris Cowan, Vice-Principal To: From: Dr. Baldwin Robin Board Date: 6/20/17 Subject: Request Continuation of School Uniforms at Koontz Intermediate Dear Dr. Baldwin, After two years as the pilot school for school uniforms, Koontz Intermediate s School Improvement Team is requesting the continuation of school uniforms be approved through the 2018-19 school year. This will coincide with the School Improvement Plan s due date. We will provide handouts for each member of the board that will show the results of the requested data from the June 1 school board meeting i.e. telephone call to all families in English, in Spanish, and to Teachers. In addition we will have a chart delineating costs of the uniforms by Walmart, Target, and Old Navy along with Lands End. Recommendation: The School Improvement Team requests the continuation of the school uniform policy at our school to coincide with the School Improvement Plan due dates every two years. Thank you for your consideration. Robin Board
