2011School Dress Code

Policies

School dress code policies were collected from 132 public school systems in Alabama.

Data was collected for the 2011 school year by Tobacco Area Coordinators, the Tobacco Surveillance and Evaluation Coordinator, and the Youth Mini-Grant Coordinator.

The purpose for the data collection is to identify schools systems without a tobacco dress code. Local area coordinators will discuss implementation of a tobacco clause with school systems.

School Dress Code Policies

A school dress code with a tobacco dress code prohibits students from wearing clothing with pictures, writing, and/or symbols promoting the use of tobacco.

A school dress code with a uniform policy requires students to wear specific clothing approved by the school district.

The dress code policies can be found on the individual school system’s website or in the student handbook, which is distributed at the beginning of each school year to students.
