Jerome Joint School District No. 261

STUDENTS 3280

Equal Education, Nondiscrimination and Sex Equity

Equal educational opportunities shall be available for all students without regard to race, color, national origin,

ancestry, sex, ethnicity, language barrier, religious beliefs, physical and mental handicap or disability, economic or

social conditions, or actual or potential marital or parental status or status as a homeless child. Any student may

file a discrimination grievance using the procedure that follows this policy.

No student shall, on the basis of sex, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services, or benefits or be

limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage, or denied equal access to educational and extracurricular

programs and activities.

Students who believe that they may have been sexually harassed or intimidated should contact a counselor,

teacher, Title IX coordinator or administrator who will assist them in the complaint process. Supervisors or

teachers who knowingly condone, or fail to report or assist a student to take action to remediate such behavior of

sexual harassment or intimidation, may themselves be subject to discipline.

The District will not tolerate hostile or abusive treatment, derogatory remarks, or acts of violence because of

disability against students, staff or volunteers with disabilities. The District considers this behavior to constitute

discrimination on the basis of disability in violation of state and federal law.
