Board reverts harassment policy language to pre‑2020 Title IX wording
Summary
Directors approved board policy 5011 to revert harassment and discrimination language to earlier (pre‑August) wording; the board treated procedures as informational and approved the policy motion at the meeting.
The board considered revisions to board policy 5011 on discrimination and harassment of staff and voted to approve the change that, per staff, reverts language adopted in August back to the prior wording in 2020. A staff presenter explained the policy change was intended to restore the district's earlier procedure and terminology (SEG 2052–2068).
A board member moved to approve the policy and a second was recorded; the motion passed by voice. Staff noted that procedures associated with the policy were updated in August and that the procedures do not require board approval, though they will be used by administration for implementation and audit purposes.
No public comment or legal briefing occurred in the meeting; the board's motion was procedural and focused on aligning the district policy packet to the stated preference for the prior language.
