Summary:
|
Policy updated to address communication of the dress code to students and staff; grant enforcement authority to the principal or designee; prohibit discriminatory enforcement of the dress code, including, but not limited to, discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression, or religious or cultural observance; and address disciplinary action for repeated violations or refusal to comply with the dress code. Policy also provides that the determination of specific items of clothing defined as gang apparel shall be free from bias based on race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, or other protected characteristics.
Policy was further updated to reflect NEW LAW (SB 188) which prohibits discrimination against traits historically associated with race, including hair texture and "protective hairstyles" such as braids, locks, and twists.
Regulation updated to provide general, gender-neutral guidelines for the dress code that may be revised to reflect district practice; add circumstances under which the dress code should be modified for classes, activities, or individual students; and call for collaboration with law enforcement agencies to update definitions of gang-related apparel.
