6401 Student Dress and Appearance
The Wilson County Board of Education respects a student’s right to choose his or her style of dress or appearance. However, students are expected to adhere to standards of cleanliness and dress that are compatible with the requirement of a good school environment. If a student’s dress or lack of cleanliness is such that it constitutes a threat to health or safety, the principal or principal’s designee may require the student and student’s parent or guardian to take appropriate action to remedy the situation. In addition, if a student’s dress or appearance is so unusual, inappropriate or lacking in cleanliness that it clearly disrupts class or learning activities, the student may be required to change his or her dress or appearance.
Student violations of this policy shall be handled by the principal or principal’s designee. Violation of this policy shall be a Level One violation of Policy 6400 and the penalty shall be the same as any other Level One violation.
