Student Right to Individual Privacy and Personal Modesty—

Each student has a reasonable expectation of individual privacy and personal modesty. Therefore, students may not be required, invited, or encouraged to undress, change clothing, or otherwise be in a state of full or partial nudity in the presence of another individual, regardless of whether the student is in a restroom or changing facility or the other individual is a District employee. Compliance with this restriction may be achieved by the option of ensuring that students who choose to undress in private have available (1) single-occupant facilities, (2) floor-to-ceiling walls or doors or similar privacy protections within changing facilities, or (3) curtains or similar privacy protections in changing facilities.
