Board adopts Policy 3205 to align with 2020 federal student sexual-harassment rules
Summary
On May 22, 2025 the Stevenson-Carson School District board voted to adopt Policy 3205 using the 2020-rule language after confirming they could adopt at the meeting; the board cited a change in federal guidance and used Policy 1310 to permit immediate adoption.
The Stevenson-Carson School District Board of Directors voted May 22 to adopt Policy 3205 using the 2020 federal-rule language addressing sexual harassment of students. Mark Chambers made the motion to adopt the 2020-language and Mitch Engel seconded; the motion carried.
Board members said the adoption followed a change in federal guidance. Minutes note that "The new federal administration has returned to the 2020 rules regarding sexual harassment of students," and the board briefly recessed to confirm whether they could adopt the policy at the same meeting under Policy 1310. The board reviewed Policy 1310 and determined it contained language allowing the adoption without separate first and second readings.
The adoption formalizes the district's current approach to student sexual-harassment procedures under the 2020 rules. The board did not attach an implementation timeline in the minutes; members discussed the legal compliance question and took the procedural step of adopting the updated language at the meeting. The board's next scheduled business includes a Budget Hearing/Adoption on June 30, 2025.
