X. Prohibited Behavior.  Every student has the right to be free from fear, harm, and violence at school, on the school bus and at school-related activities. In order to preserve this right, the Board authorizes the Superintendent to create a Code of Student Conduct that sets out specific consequences for students violating the following rules:

 

11. Students shall adhere to their school’s dress code which includes, but may not be limited to, the following:

a. Students are prohibited from wearing clothing that contains advertisements for tobacco, alcohol or drugs, pictures or graphics of nudity, or words that are profane, lewd, vulgar, or indecent;

b. Clothing exposing a student’s bare chest, bare back, or bare midriff may not be worn;

c. All shirts and tops must have straps and/or sleeves; No spaghetti straps or tank tops;

d. No see-through clothing is allowed;

e. Shoes must be worn;

f. Short shorts or skirts are not allowed. A good rule of thumb is that shorts, dresses, skirts and other short attire should be at least mid-thigh length;

g. Pants, slacks, jeans or other attire that sag below waist are not allowed;

h. Hats, caps, bandanas, or garments which cover the student’s face or conceal the student’s identity.

i. Undergarments may not be shown or worn as outerwear; and

j. Specialized courses may require specialized attire, such as safety gear; and

k. Any symbols, styles or attire frequently associated with gangs, intimidation, violence or violent groups about which students at a particular school have been notified as described in AR 5131.4 are prohibited.
