Details could be coming tonight on a new dress code for staff at the Halton District School Board (HDSB) that was requested after images of an Oakville teacher wearing prosthetic breasts went viral online in September.
The board ordered its director of education to develop the new professionalism policy, which includes a dress code, after the images garnered widespread media attention and dozens of parent complaints last year.
In response to the incident, the board initially ordered its director of education to produce a report on whether it would be advisable to create a formal staff dress code, however the report suggested that implementing one would present a “considerable liability.” “Finally, and most importantly, we note that if the employer desires to foster a culture of professionalism, respect, equity and inclusion, a truly reasonable and non-discriminatory dress code or grooming standards would most likely fail to yield the intended results.”
The board is requesting that a policy outlining expectations, including a “requirement to maintain appropriate professional standards of dress and decorum in the classroom,” be presented in March 2023.In a statement to CTV News Toronto last month, Ennis said the HDSB’s “commitment to human rights remains rooted in our core values.”
