What this document actually says
This policy, adopted in August 2022 and last revised in October 2022, addresses vandalism and graffiti at Reed Union schools. The district commits to preventing vandalism by collaborating with law enforcement and local officials. Students and staff should report any graffiti or vandalism to school principals, who will investigate and may contact police if the graffiti is threatening, repetitive, or targets specific groups. Schools must remove graffiti as quickly as possible, ideally before the school day starts. Students who vandalize school property face disciplinary action including suspension or expulsion. The district may also withhold grades, diplomas, or transcripts until damages are repaid. Photos and evidence will be preserved for investigations and disciplinary proceedings.
What this means for your family
If your child vandalizes school property or creates graffiti, they may be suspended or expelled. The district can withhold their grades, diploma, or transcripts until you pay for damages. Parents may be held financially liable for their child's willful damage to school property. Students are encouraged to report vandalism they witness to help maintain a safe school environment.
