Board advances harassment‑policy revisions and updates Title IX language to 2020 rules
Summary
A DEI subcommittee approved draft harassment‑policy language to add explicit protections for marginalized students; the board also advanced policies reflecting the 2020 Title IX regulations and directed staff training and a simplified staff summary of procedures.
The district’s DEI subcommittee approved draft language updating the harassment policy (referenced as Policy 04/11/1 in committee materials) to add explicit protections for marginalized students and to make enforcement language clearer and more enforceable. The subcommittee’s draft will move to the policy subcommittee for further review and possible board action.
Separately, the board discussed Title IX policy changes. Administration and board members noted that federal Title IX regulations had reverted to the 2020 rules and that corresponding district policies had been updated to align with that regulatory version. Board members emphasized the need for staff training on the updated process and suggested a short “CliffsNotes” one‑page summary for employees outlining reporting steps and responsibilities.
A motion to accept the policy changes was made, and the board voted to approve the updated policies during the meeting. Board members said staff training on Title IX procedures will follow so employees understand reporting and compliance steps under the 2020 regulatory framework.
