To support students, all high school students will participate in lessons on Thursday, September 4. These lessons were designed in partnership with the RCC Sexual Violence Resource Center and SPASD Student Services. They are focused on fostering safety, empowerment, and community. We are sharing them in advance with parents and caregivers of our high school students so they may review them and discuss them with their students.
In addition to lessons and supports for students, we are reinforcing expectations for staff regarding professional boundaries, including appropriate communication channels between staff and students. All staff, including those working with athletic teams and clubs, are required to use only district-approved communication platforms to ensure safe, monitored interactions with students. In addition, reinforcement of mandatory reporter responsibilities has occurred with our high school staff.
