Hate-Motivated Behavior
The Governing Board affirms the right of every student to be protected from hate-motivated behavior. Behavior or statements that degrade an individual on the basis of his/her race, ethnicity, culture, heritage, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical/mental attributes or religious beliefs or practices shall not be tolerated.
Any student who feels that he/she is a victim of hate-motivated behavior should contact the principal. A student may file a complaint in accordance with district complaint procedures. Staff who receive notice of hate-motivated behavior or personally observe such behavior shall notify the principal, Superintendent or designee, and law enforcement, as appropriate. Students demonstrating hate-motivated behavior shall be subject to discipline in accordance with Board policy and administrative regulation.
San José Unified strives to promote harmonious relationships that enable students to gain a true understanding of the civil rights and social responsibilities of people in our society. The district will ensure that staff receive appropriate training to recognize hate-motivated behavior and methods for handling such behavior in appropriate ways, and that students are provided age-appropriate instruction to help promote understanding of and respect for human rights.
