Nondiscrimination and/or Sexual Harassment Complaint Process The Governing Board is committed to providing equal opportunity for all individuals in education.

District programs, activities, and practices shall be free from discrimination based on race, color,

ancestry, national origin, ethnic group identification, age, religion, martial or parental status,

physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, or

genetic information; the perception of one or more of such characteristics; or association with a

person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. (EC 200, 220)

The Governing Board is committed to maintaining a safe school environment that is free from

harassment and discrimination. The Board prohibits sexual harassment of students at school-

sponsored or school-related activities. The Board also prohibits retaliatory behavior or action

against any person who reports, files a complaint or testifies about, or otherwise supports a

complainant in alleging sexual harassment. (BP 5145.7)

A complaint concerning unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying may be filed

only be a person who alleges that he/she personally suffered unlawful discrimination, harassment,

intimidation, or bullying or by a person who believes that an individual or any specific class of

individuals has been subjected to it. The complaint shall be initiated no later than six months from

the date when the alleged discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying occurred, or six

months from the date when the complaint first obtained knowledge of the facts of the alleged

discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying. However, upon written request by the

complainant, the Superintendent or designee may extend the filing period for up to 90 days. (5

CCR 4630)

The following compliance officer shall receive and investigate complaints and shall ensure district

compliance with law:

CLEARING ABSENCES When a student is absent, it is the parent or guardian’s responsibility to report the reason. This may be done by writing a note or by calling the school. A note should be written in ink and include the following: a) student’s first and last name; b) date(s), time(s), and reason for the absence(s); and c) signature of the parent or legal guardian. When a student has had ten (10) absences in the school year for illness, any further absences for illness must be verified by a physician to be cleared. Parents will receive a courtesy call to work or home if your student is absent from school, unless prior notification of the student's absence has been made.

EARLY DISMISSAL If a student needs to leave campus during the scheduled day, the parent or guardian must make prior arrangements with the school office either by phone, note or in person. 18 year old students who sign themselves out early will be marked unexcused unless the school receives verification from a dentist, a doctor, court official, etc.

LATE AND TARDIES A student is considered tardy if the student is not in the classroom when the bell rings

3rd tardy during the month will result in 30 minutes Wednesday after school detention 4th tardy 30 minute after school after school detention 5th tardy class suspension and student will call parent 6th tardy is chronic and students will be assigned to Saturday School, with a Principal call

NON-TRUANT ABSENCES

The only non-truant reasons for a student to be absent from school are: Illness Medical appointments Funeral for immediate family member (one day in state, three days out of state) Court Appointments

Exclusion for not having proper immunizations (five days only)

TRUANCY

Any student who has been absent from school without a valid excuse for more than three days, or is tardy in excess of thirty minutes on each of three or more days in one school attendance year, shall be regarded as a truant. If you believe that one or more of the unexcused absences listed above are not accurate, you have ten school days to notify the school in writing of your objections. If no objection has been received by the school after ten school days, these unexcused absences will stand and cannot be cleared. Students may be counted truant if they are not in their assigned classes even though they are on campus. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the teacher.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE REVIEW TEAM (SST/SART)

The principal shall order a SST/SART (School Attendance Review Team) hearing at the school site when a student is legally truant. This meeting will require parent or guardian to attend, and may result in a truant citation from the City of Folsom issued by the Folsom Police Department. Student and parents may be required to attend a courtroom hearing.

Serious consequences administered by this panel may include: Loss of a California Driver’s license for the student Prevention of acquiring a California Driver’s license for the student Loss of a work permit, thus preventing the student from working Prevention of acquiring a work permit, thus preventing the student from legally trying to find

FOLSOM LAKE HIGH SCHOOL

2016-17 Dress Code Contract

This dress code policy has been aligned with VDL and FHS’s dress code policies to ensure consistency in the Folsom area high schools. We believe college and career-readiness begins in high school. Regardless of guidelines below, Folsom Lake staff will have the final determination as to whether a student’s attire is appropriate for school, as trends and fashion change at a rapid rate. When students are in violation of the dress code policy, they are provided with the opportunity to find an appropriate “school ready” outfit in our Boutique. Students may also borrow a clothing item from a friend, or call a parent to bring them appropriate clothing.

DISCIPLINE PLAN

Discipline is vital to promoting an atmosphere of student behavior necessary to achieve high academic and ethical standards. Discipline is the responsibility of the students, parents and staff. Student misbehavior is often difficult to deal with due to many variables. Each violation will be reviewed on an individual basis and may warrant a minimum or maximum disciplinary action dependent upon the circumstance and previous behavior of the student. (See the Folsom Cordova Unified School District Code of Conduct). California Ed. Code 48900 serves as the foundation to ensure consistency and fairness in disciplinary matters at Folsom Lake High School. Students may be subject to disciplinary action if the offense occurred: (1) on any FCUSD campus; (2) at a school-sponsored event; and (3) on the way to or from school.

COUNSELING: A counselor, psychologist, or principal will provide a helping relationship by analyzing student misbehavior and providing positive steps for behavior adjustment. Counseling may include keeping the student in the office for the balance of a class period, holding a parent conference or using other measures if appropriate. BEHAVIOR CONTRACT: The school/district may enter into an agreement with the student wherein he/she agrees to comply with the conditions contained in the contract, and the school rules. The student agrees to refrain from committing the same violation and/or breaking other school regulations. This contract may be in addition to a suspension/or expulsion and/or in lieu of such actions.
