Administrative Regulation

Section G Personnel File: GBCB-R

ADMINISTRATOR DRESS CODE

Douglas School District 51-1 (the District) is committed to being a high performance

organization focused on outstanding student performance, achievement, and preparation for a lifetime of success. The professional appearance (which includes dress, accessories and other body adornments, and grooming) of all staff members not only reinforces their own shared vision of the District and their identity as highly motivated professionals working toward a common mission, but also strengthens their morale, sense of professionalism, dignity and self-worth; it promotes a positive attitude toward the District, public schools and the teaching profession in general; and, directly and indirectly, influences the conduct, morale, and performance of the District's students.

Professional dress is required of all District Administrators. All employees must exercise good judgment in their choice of professional appearance for work and work-related activities by always appearing in a way that is appropriate to the situation, and that will invoke:

• a positive impression from the community; • provide appropriate role modeling for students; • promote a working and learning environment that is free from unnecessary disruption; • and be conducive to high student and staff performance.

In an effort to lead the way, the administrators in the District will adhere to the following

dress code: Professional Dress Standards for Men Acceptable Attire/Grooming

• Pants or slacks • Collared shirts to include polo-type and button-down shirts. Sweaters, turtlenecks,

and Henley shirts are acceptable. • Ties and dress coats improve the image; recommended but not required. • Cologne or aftershave to be unobtrusive • Shoes that are clean and polished improve the image. (Tennis shoes often detract

from the image and should be worn sparingly). • Facial hair must be neat and well groomed.

Professional Dress Standards for Women Acceptable Attire/Grooming

• Pants, slacks, capris, dresses, or skirts. • Blouses and shirts: collared shirts to include polo-type and button-down shirts.

Sweaters, turtlenecks and Henley shirts are acceptable, as well as other blouses (with or without collars) that would be considered professional in nature. Blouses and dresses should be cut in such a way as to exceed the expectations of student dress.

• Coats and vests often add to professional image but are not required. • Makeup, perfume, or cologne to be unobtrusive. • Tennis shoes often detract from the image and should be worn sparingly.

Unacceptable Attire/Grooming

• Jeans and t-shirts may not be worn except on Fridays. • Tattered cuffs, tears in clothing and heavy wear marks are unacceptable. • Sweat pants, spandex pants, leggings (unless covered by other apparel down to the

acceptable skirt length), and jogging suits are unacceptable. • Hats are not to be worn in the building.

Jeans and appropriate t-shirts are allowed for all staff on Fridays only. Jeans should be in

good repair with no holes. It is understood that there may be times when different clothing is appropriate (athletic wear for field days, dress up days for building events, etc.) and it is expected that administrators make reasonable decisions at these times. Administrators may also dress more casually on days where no students are present, however, professional duties (meetings with parents, new staff, interviews, etc.) must be considered and dress adjusted accordingly.

Directors and Coordinators are allowed to wear jeans on days that they may be working in dirty environments.
