POTTSTOWN DRESS and GROOMING

No. 325 POTTSTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT SECTION: EMPLOYEES TITLE: DRESS AND GROOMING ADOPTED: REVISED: 325. DRESS AND GROOMING 1. Authority Administrative, professional and support employees set an example in dress and grooming for students and the school community. Employees’ dress should reflect their professional status and encourage respect for authority in order to have a positive influence on the district’s programs and operations. SC 510 The Board has the authority to specify reasonable dress and grooming requirements, within law, for all district employees to prevent an adverse impact on the educational programs and district operations. When assigned to district duties, employees shall be physically clean, neat, wellgroomed and dressed in a manner consistent with assigned job responsibilities. Employees shall be groomed so that their hair style does not cause a safety or health hazard. Designated support employees shall be required to wear a work uniform. 2. Delegation of Responsibility If an employee feels that an exception to this policy would enable him/her to carry out assigned duties more effectively, a request should be made to the immediate supervisor.
