What this document actually says
This Board Policy establishes Reed Union School District's commitment to preventing discrimination and harassment in employment. It prohibits discrimination against all employees, applicants, contractors, interns, and volunteers based on protected characteristics including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, immigration status, and many others. The policy covers all employment practices including hiring, compensation, promotions, and working conditions. It requires supervisors to report discrimination incidents within one workday, mandates employee training on recognizing harassment, prohibits retaliation against those who report violations, and outlines complaint investigation procedures. Employees who violate this policy face disciplinary action up to dismissal. The policy was originally adopted in 2005 and most recently revised in September 2024.
What this means for your family
This policy ensures that all adults working with students—teachers, staff, coaches, and volunteers—are hired, treated, and retained fairly without discrimination. A discrimination-free workplace promotes a positive school culture, better staff retention, and ensures qualified educators remain focused on teaching rather than dealing with workplace conflicts. Families can be confident the district maintains professional standards and legal protections for all employees.
