What this document actually says

This policy establishes Reed Union School District's commitment to preventing and addressing sexual harassment among employees, volunteers, contractors, and job applicants. It complies with Title IX federal regulations and California law. The policy requires employee training, public notification of procedures, and prompt investigation of complaints. A Title IX Coordinator handles all reports of sexual harassment, which must be reported within one workday of becoming known. The district offers supportive measures to both complainants and those accused during investigations. Employees found to have committed sexual harassment face disciplinary action up to dismissal. The policy was originally adopted in 2005, revised in September 2024, and reviewed in October 2025.

What this means for your family

This policy helps ensure a safe, professional environment for all adults working in district schools. When school employees work in a harassment-free environment, they can better focus on educating and supporting students. The district's commitment to investigating and addressing harassment helps protect staff wellbeing, which directly impacts the quality of education and care your children receive at school.
