The Torrington Board of Education approved a new dress code policy for its employees during a meeting on Wednesday evening. The initiative, spearheaded by Gary Eucalitto, a member of the Board and chair of the policy committee, emerged from recent discussions aimed at updating the existing student dress code. Eucalitto emphasized the significance of staff members presenting a professional image, stating that it is essential for fostering a positive environment within the educational setting.

The policy aims to ensure that teachers and other staff members adhere to a standard of attire that reflects the values and expectations of the school community. Board members expressed their belief that a well-defined dress code would not only enhance the professionalism of the staff but also set a standard for students to follow. The implementation of this dress code is expected to take effect in the coming weeks, with the intention of promoting a cohesive and respectful atmosphere in the schools.
