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, last revised in September 2022, governs school assemblies and special events at Reed Union schools. It requires that all assemblies promote a positive school climate and relate to the district's educational program—either supplementing curriculum or showcasing student achievements in academics, arts, athletics, or extracurricular activities. Principals must carefully select speakers and community resources to ensure balanced viewpoints and age-appropriate content. Speakers must agree not to present obscene, vulgar, or violence-inciting material. Assemblies must be scheduled to maximize instructional time and comply with legal requirements and labor agreements. Students are expected to show respect during assemblies; those who disrupt programs lose assembly privileges and may face disciplinary action. The policy emphasizes educational relevance while maintaining appropriate standards for student audiences.
What this means for your family
Your child will attend assemblies that support their learning and celebrate achievements. Speakers and content are screened for age-appropriateness and educational value. If your child disrupts an assembly, they may lose the privilege of attending future events and could face discipline. Assemblies are scheduled to protect regular instructional time, so classroom learning remains the priority.
