CHANDLER UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
EMPLOYEE DRESS GUIDELINES
General Statement:
District employees are expected to dress appropriately for their position. Standardized guidelines have been developed to ensure all district employees meet (or exceed) high expectations required to positively represent the site, district and educational profession. This is not an exhaustive lists of do's and don'ts. It is meant to clarify "professional dress" by providing a picture of what is generally acceptable and unacceptable according to Chandler community standards. As trends change, new questions will arise.
