The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

In plain English
What this document actually says
This policy, adopted and last reviewed January 13, 2026, guarantees Reed Union School District employees the right to express breast milk at work for up to one year after childbirth. The district must provide reasonable break time (unpaid for additional breaks beyond regular breaks) and a private lactation space that is not a bathroom. The space must be clean, safe, shielded from view, and equipped with seating, a surface for a breast pump, electrical access, and nearby access to a sink and refrigerator. Employees must notify their supervisor in advance to arrange accommodations. The district prohibits discrimination or retaliation against employees requesting lactation accommodations. Denials require written documentation and consultation with the Superintendent. Employees can file complaints with state or federal labor agencies if their rights are violated.
What this means for your family
This policy primarily affects district employees who are nursing mothers, not students directly. It ensures staff members can continue breastfeeding after returning from parental leave, which may improve employee retention and satisfaction. While it doesn't directly impact students' classroom experience, supporting working parents contributes to a stable, experienced teaching workforce. The policy requires minimal facilities investment (designated lactation spaces) but protects employee rights and complies with state and federal law.
