• Student Code of Dress

    The board of education, supported by court rulings, upholds its right to impose student dress codes that prohibit immodest or suggestive clothing, dress that would create a disturbance or distraction, and clothing that is unsanitary or creates a health hazard. Students are prohibited from wearing dress that contains obscenities, or leaves the students scantily clad. Clothing that conveys messages that are obscene, vulgar or refer to alcohol or illegal substances are prohibited. This restriction on student speech will be imposed only where there is a well founded expectation of disruption to the educational process or on the legitimate rights of other students or staff. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A: 11-90, the board of education prohibits students from wearing, while on school property, any type of clothing, apparel or accessory which indicates that the student has membership in, or affiliation with, any gang associated with criminal activities.
