4. Plain long sleeved white, off-white, orange, blue or gray may be worn under polo/or button front shirts. No other layering under or over approved tops.

Exemptions/Exceptions: The Campus Wear Policy approved by the Galion City Board of Education must allow exceptions for students participating in nationally recognized youth groups that have their own uniforms on days when these organizations have scheduled activities.

Pursuant to the Free Exercise Clause under the first Amendment to the United States Constitution, there also may be situations where legitimate religious objections must be accommodated. Where required, this exception must be provided regardless of whether it is specified in the uniform policy.

Other Exceptions Include: Students with medical or physical disabilities may require special clothing not in compliance with the Campus Wear Policy. The IEP team (which includes the building principal) will make any determination for this special clothing. This should also be noted in the student’s health plan if applicable.

Students with an injury, illness or condition that would exempt them from Campus Wear compliance will need a written physician’s excuse and approval of the building principal. Special Activity Days (i.e. Picture Day, Spirit Days, Field Trips etc.) may be allowed with the prior approval of the building principal. Any variation of clothing on these special activity days must follow the Campus Wear guidelines. Any used or handed down clothing must be in good condition and follow the Campus Wear guidelines. If you have any questions regarding the campus wear policy, please contact your child’s school.
