BEAVERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT PROCEDURES

All public schools receiving any federal funds must comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, including Beaverton School District. A school has a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to a claim of sexual harassment or sexual violence. Title IX requires schools to adopt and publish grievance procedures for students to file complaints of sex discrimination, including complaints of sexual harassment or sexual violence. Complaints of unlawful discrimination and harassment based on gender or sex may be made at any time and in any manner: in person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail. Complaints may be brought to any staff member, however if a student wishes to make a formal complaint those should be brought to their building principal or the District’s Title IX Coordinator. Complaints will be promptly investigated. For more information regarding the District’s Sexual Harassment policy and complaint process, please refer to Board Policy JBA/GBN.

The District prohibits discrimination and harassment in any program or activity based on any basis protected by law, including but not limited to, an individual’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national or ethnic origin, marital status, age, mental or physical disability, pregnancy, familial status, economic status, veteran status, or because of a perceived or actual association with any other persons within these protected classes.

The district prohibits discrimination and harassment in, but not limited to, employment,
assignment and promotion of personnel; educational opportunities and services offered
students; student assignment to schools and classes; student discipline; location and use
of facilities; educational offerings and materials; and accommodating the public at public
meetings. See Policy AC Nondiscrimination.

District meeting locations are accessible to persons with disabilities. A request for an interpreter
for the hearing impaired, or for other accommodations for persons with disabilities, should be
made at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting.

The District expects, encourages, and trusts our students to be safe and make healthy decisions regarding their behavior. When students make poor decisions, there may be interventions and responses to those actions that are age appropriate, consider the student’s mental capacity, and to the extent practicable, use approaches that are evident through research to be effective.

The Code of Conduct applies to students at all times while they are Beaverton School District property, at any school-sponsored activity, including field trips, and while traveling to and from school or any school sponsored event. The District recognizes that some incidents that occur off school ground may seriously affect school safety and school climate. In those cases, the District may implement intervention and disciplinary responses based on their impact on school safety and school climate.

Please review the Student Code of Conduct
