Education law expert Rick Verstegen will review the most important legal issues confronting schools and dress codes for students. You will learn how to implement best practices and address student objections.
What You'll Learn
- What is the history of gender-based dress codes?
- What key provisions govern the rights of the board to set rules for dress?
- How can you balance First Amendment rights with disruptive clothing choices?
- How does Title IX apply to dress codes?
- What best practices do recent cases reveal?
Training Overview
Does your dress code violate Title IX? Learn how to fix it before the new school year begins.
Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that Title IX prohibits discriminatory dress codes in a case involving a North Carolina public charter school that required girls to wear skirts. Before the 2022-23 school year begins, you need to revise your dress code to ensure that it does not violate the federal law banning sex discrimination. Completing the revision, review, and approval process in time likely requires you to take action this spring.
While ensuring attire maintains an orderly environment, you must consider the relevant laws when writing, implementing, and enforcing the policy. Understanding and proactively addressing the legal issues will enable you to avoid lawsuits.
