3216 - STAFF DRESS AND GROOMING
The Board of Education believes that professional staff members set an example in dress and grooming for their students to follow. A professional staff member who understands this precept and adheres to it enlarges the importance of his/her task, presents an image of dignity, and encourages respect for authority. These factors act in a positive manner toward the maintenance of discipline.
For purposes of preventing staff dress and grooming from having an adverse effect upon the educational process, the Board retains the authority to specify and enforce guidelines for dress and grooming of all staff members carrying out assigned District duties.
During periods of assignment each professional staff member shall:
| A. | Be physically clean, neat, and well groomed; | |
| B. | Dress in a manner consistent with their professional responsibilities; | |
| C. | Dress in a manner that communicates to students a pride in personal appearance; | |
| D. | Dress in a manner that does not cause damage to District property; | |
| E. | Be groomed in such a way that their hair style or dress does not disrupt the educational process nor cause a health or safety hazard. |
