Human Dignity

411.1

HUMAN DIGNITY
 
Through the philosophy of education, the School Board has established its intent to provide quality education in a positive learning environment and to communicate its commitment to the core values of a democratic society to all students.
 
An integral part of this intent is the recognition that we are a multi-racial and multi-ethnic School District, that we value and respect the diverse makeup of the school community and that we seek equity and excellence in education for all students.
 
To this end, the School District will not tolerate actions by students or staff which insult, degrade, or stereotype any race, gender, handicap, physical condition, ethnic group, sexual orientation or religion.
 
Appropriate consequences for students violating this policy will be specified in the student code of conduct of each building. Staff members who violate this policy will be disciplined in accordance with provisions of the applicable School Board policies and collective bargaining agreements.
