BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The School Board recognizes that each student’s mode of dress is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. The Board will not interfere with the right of students and their parents/legal guardians to make decisions regarding their appearance.

​​​​​​​ ➜ All clothing must be appropriately sized, securely fastened and cover midriff, back, sides, and all undergarments at all times. For example, suspenders should be over the shoulders, pants secured at the waist, belts buckled, no underwear as outerwear, no underwear exposed. Clothing should be opaque.

➜ Students in grades 7- 12 may wear footwear commonly considered as beachwear (for example: flip flops, thongs, Crocs, etc.) unless a course of instruction requires them to wear safe and appropriate footwear to protect the student from injury (i.e. athletic shoes in physical education class).

Hello LIst,

An amazingly bold move! Clearly the authors of this Change have realized that Clothing and Footwear that restrict free movement of the body can create problems.

(Very well drafted guidelines).
