The Board of Education believes that teachers set an example in dress and grooming for their students to follow. A teacher 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 towards the maintenance of classroom discipline.

The Board retains the authority to specify dress and grooming guidelines for staff, that will prevent such matters from having an adverse impact on the educational process.
