402.01 - Employee Conduct and Appearance

Employees are role models for the students who come in contact with them during and after school hours.  The board recognizes the positive effect employees can have on students in this capacity.  To this end, the board expects employees to conduct themselves and to dress and groom themselves in a manner appropriate to the educational environment.

Employees will conduct themselves in a professional manner.  Employees will act appropriately, professionally, and respectful in their roles as employees of the district.  As role models for the students of the district, employees must recognize that their failure to act appropriately reflects negatively upon them and upon the district.

Employees will dress in attire appropriate for their position.  Clothing should be neat, clean, and in good taste.  Discretion and common sense call for an avoidance of extremes which would interfere with or have an effect on the educational process.

Licensed employees of the school district, including administrators, will follow the code of ethics for their profession as established by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners.
