Board hears policy updates: new Civil Rights/Title IX manager, reconsideration committees, and shift of JECA duties to superintendent
Summary
At the Dec. 4 work session Reynolds SD reported hiring a Civil Rights and Title IX manager, clarified that committees to reconsider materials will form as needed, flagged ORS questions about pay deductions, and said naloxone is available in all secondary schools but not elementary schools.
District staff summarized a bundle of policy updates across Sections A/B, G, I and J during the Dec. 4 work session. The minutes record that the district has hired a Civil Rights and Title IX manager and that the district will apply Oregon law and board policy in relevant cases. Section G discussion raised a question about language authorizing the district to deduct pay and referenced Oregon Revised Statutes as the governing standard for what is allowed.
On reconsideration of instructional materials, staff said committees would be formed when needed rather than being standing bodies, and that complaints would generally be routed first to the staff member and school principal before escalating to a committee. The board also discussed moving responsibility under JECA from the board to the superintendent on a case‑by‑case basis so the superintendent can assess each student's situation without calling the full board for every incident. The record notes naloxone is present in all secondary schools while elementary schools do not carry it.
No formal policy ordinance or vote was recorded on these updates at the work session; the items were presented as staff updates and clarifications of administrative practice.
