What it does
Existing law authorizes a pupil to wear traditional tribal regalia or recognized objects of religious or cultural significance as an adornment at school graduation ceremonies. Existing law prohibits that authorization from limiting a local educational agency's discretion and authority to prohibit an item that is likely to cause a substantial disruption of, or material interference with, the ceremony. Existing law defines "adornment" for these purposes as something attached to or worn with, but not replacing, the cap and gown customarily worn at school graduation ceremonies.
