The official document
What the district published
This is the source material — exactly as released by RUSD. The plain English translation below is this site's version, written for community members who shouldn't need to know all the lingo to understand what they're legally entitled to as taxpayers, and how to access it.
The original isn't embedded here yet.
The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

In plain English
What this document actually says
Policy 0410 (last revised September 9, 2025) prohibits discrimination in all Reed Union School District programs and activities based on protected characteristics including race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, immigration status, religion, and many others. The policy requires equal access to all district services and prohibits collection of personal data for discriminatory purposes. Schools must remove derogatory team names and mascots, especially those using Native American terms. The district must annually review programs to identify and remove barriers to access. Facilities and websites must comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Complaints are handled through the district's Uniform Complaint Procedures (Policy 1312.3). The district must notify families about nondiscrimination rights in languages they understand, and must inform parents about their children's right to education regardless of immigration status.
What this means for your family
Your child has the right to participate fully in all school programs regardless of their background, identity, or abilities. If your child faces discrimination or needs accommodations for a disability, the district must investigate and respond. Schools cannot reject books or materials based solely on whose contributions they feature. You'll receive annual notices about these rights in your primary language if 15% or more students speak it. Contact Brian Lynch (blynch@reedschools.org) with concerns.
