What the district published
This is the source material — exactly as released by RUSD. The plain English translation below is this site's version, written for community members who shouldn't need to know all the lingo to understand what they're legally entitled to as taxpayers, and how to access it.

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.

What this document actually says
This policy, adopted May 12, 2020, authorizes the district to provide distance learning when schools close due to widespread illness, natural disasters, or emergencies. Distance learning may include online instruction, video lessons, apps, and print materials. The Superintendent must ensure programs align with district standards and are high quality. The district commits to providing distance learning access to all students, including those with disabilities, English learners, and economically disadvantaged students. This includes loaning devices and helping families find internet access. Teachers must receive training and support, communicate regularly with families about assignments and expectations, and follow copyright laws. Student social-emotional wellness must be considered when designing distance learning schedules and experiences.
What this means for your family
Your child can continue learning at home during school closures through online lessons, videos, and assignments. The district will loan computers or tablets if needed and help find internet access. Teachers will communicate regularly about homework and expectations. Students with disabilities, English learners, and families facing economic hardship will receive support to ensure equal access. Your child must follow the Acceptable Use Agreement when using district technology at home.
