SUBJECT: POLICY STATEMENT REGARDING PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION

This bulletin supersedes Office of the Superintendent Bulletin No. 12, dated October 15, 1982.

The Los Angeles Unified School District reaffirms its belief in the worth and dignity of all people. It emphasizes the nature of democratic principles and regards as essential the guarantee of equal educational and employment opportunity for all. In keeping with these ideals, the following policy is to be enforced by all employees:

All employees will so conduct themselves in the course of their employment by word, gesture, act, and demeanor so as to assure that all others will be accorded just and equitable consideration, regard, and treatment. Prejudice or discrimination in any form is deemed to be unethical, as well as illegal, and will not be tolerated. Any violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action.

Administrators are requested to bring this policy to the attention of all employees and to constructively administer its enforcement

For assistance, call Ron Apperson, Legal Adviser at (213) 625-6606.
