4216 - EMPLOYEE DRESS AND GROOMING
The Board of Education believes that employees set an example in dress and grooming for their students to follow. An employee who follows this principle improves the importance of his/her task, presents an image of dignity and encourages respect for authority. These are positive factors for maintaining discipline.
The Board retains the authority to specify the following dress and grooming guidelines for employees, as a means of creating a positive impact on the educational process. All employees shall, when assigned to District duty:
| A. | be physically clean, neat, and well groomed; | |
| B. | dress in a manner reflecting their assignment; | |
| C. | dress in a manner that does not cause damage to District property; | |
| D. | 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. |
The employee's supervisor may, at his/her discretion and within the general guidelines of this policy, establish more definitive guidelines for dress and grooming necessary for maintaining a professional atmosphere.
If an employee thinks that an exception to this policy would enable him/her to carry out assigned duties more effectively, a request shall be made to the supervisor.
