The amendments made to Policy II‐41 were based on the following principles:
o The Board is committed to providing a learning and working environment that is safe and respectful of the needs and well‐being of all individuals, and believes that a school uniform dress code supports such environments.
o The Board endorses and encourages the adoption of a school uniform dress code in our elementary schools, consistent with the values, traditions and distinctiveness of Catholic schools as an effective strategy to build inclusive Catholic communities and encourage a sense of belonging for all students.
o The Board affirms a role for parents to determine, through democratic vote conducted in accordance with this policy, whether or not to adopt and implement a school uniform dress code for elementary school communities.

The following parameters in Policy II‐41 have been amended:
o A simple majority vote (50% + 1) is required for a community to adopt a school uniform.
o Community votes are scheduled later in the school year. Every family with children confirmed as pre‐registered for the next school year is eligible to vote.
o If the youngest child in the family is in grade 7 or 8, a family would not be eligible to participate in the vote .
o In the first year of implementation, grade 8 students will not be required to wear the uniform.
o Each school community must vote on school uniforms at least once. The uniform vote may be revisited on a three year cycle. Schools that have never held a school uniform vote, must hold a vote this year.
