§ 11.162. SCHOOL UNIFORMS. (a) The board of trustees of
an independent school district may adopt rules that require
students at a school in the district to wear school uniforms if the
board determines that the requirement would improve the learning
environment at the school.
(b) The rules the board of trustees adopts must designate a
source of funding that shall be used in providing uniforms for
students at the school who are educationally disadvantaged.
(c) A parent or guardian of a student assigned to attend a
school at which students are required to wear school uniforms may
choose for the student to be exempted from the requirement or to
transfer to a school at which students are not required to wear
uniforms and at which space is available if the parent or guardian
provides a written statement that, as determined by the board of
trustees, states a bona fide religious or philosophical objection
to the requirement.
(d) Students at a school at which uniforms are required
shall wear the uniforms beginning on the 90th day after the date on
which the board of trustees adopts the rules that require the
uniforms.
