Most schools have dress code policies for students, whether it's a uniform or specific clothing articles they shouldn't wear.

But what about a dress code for staff?

Torrington Public Schools is considering a dress code policy for its staff members.

News12 Connecticut spoke with Michael Wilson, the superintendent of schools, on Friday. He said a new dress code was recently implemented for students, coinciding with teachers always looking professional and students viewing them as role models.

Wilson said that's where the idea for an all-staff dress code came from, and he clarified that the policy does not 'single out' teachers or specific staff members.

"Our students look up to our staff, and our students are our next generation. They're our next leaders, right? And when they go out, we want them to interview and dress for success. So, if they're going to dress for success, who do they look to? The adults that they're around daily. And those adults are all of our staff members," Wilson said.

Wilson told News12 that the policy codifies what staff couldn't wear, such as ripped jeans, sandals, flip-flops and tank tops or low-cut tops. According to Wilson, there has been no issue with any staff members wearing those types of clothes. The new policy would allow staff to wear regular jeans and sneakers.

"I really do believe that the board considered everything...really put some concessions in place. For example...allowing jeans and spirit wear on certain days," Wilson said.

News 12 spoke to a parent who didn't want to be identified on camera but said the policy is reasonable for anyone working with children.

"Even DCF workers should be wearing stuff that's appropriate, bus drivers. Anybody that works out in the field around kids, dress more appropriate. I have kids in the school system, and I don't think it's appropriate for them, either. Like they don't need to see that kind of stuff," the parent said.

The school board is expected to vote on the policy next Wednesday. If approved, the dress code policy would take effect immediately.
