The Gloversville School District Board of Education voted for the first time on updated student behavior guidelines during their meeting on September 6th. These include gender-neutral dress codes, regulations regarding new technologies such as e-cigarettes, and new definitions related to gender identity.
David Halloran, head of GESD, stated that the vote has been delayed until now due to the pandemic.
According to Halloran, there is a need to update the Student Code of Conduct. For instance, the region prohibits the use of tobacco products, but it does not mention electronic cigarettes. Halloran stated that "we need to modernize the terminology and wording of the technical projects.
The proposed student code of conduct now includes a ban on "tobacco/e-cigarette/nicotine-related products," defined as "any cigarette, cigar, pipe, nicotine electronic cigarette, pod or any other smoking product and related paraphernalia, as well as chewing and snuff tobacco and any other form of oral tobacco products.
Another proposed change is the dress code for students. According to Halloran, the new dress code requirements will remain fundamentally the same as before, but will not mention male or female students and will instead focus on gender-neutral clothing items.
