Dress and Grooming

The Board of Education recognizes that each student has his or her personal style of dress and grooming. As such, the rights of students regarding their appearance will not be interfered with except when their choice disrupts the educational process or creates disorder by containing offensive or obscene language or symbols oriented towards violence, sex, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, or degrades any gender, cultural, religious, or ethnic values.
