The
board recognizes that each student's mode of dress and
grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual
preference.
The board will not interfere with the rights of students
and their parents to make decisions regarding their appearance
except when their choices: |
| * |
present
a hazard to the health or safety of the student
or to others |
| * |
materially
interfere with school work, create disorder, or
disrupt the educational process |
| * |
cause excessive wear
or damage to school property |
| * |
prevent the student
from achieving appropriate educational objectives |
|
|
|
| * |
Students
may be required to wear certain types of clothing
while participating in physical education classes,
shops, extracurricular activities, or other situations
where special attire may be required to ensure the
health or safety of the student. |
| * |
Students
should be encouraged to take pride in their appearance.
In an age of changing styles and freedom of dress,
students should select clothing which is complimentary
to them. When students come to school inappropriately
dressed, the staff and administration will take
the necessary steps to correct the situation. |
