Consultant Review and Policies and Procedures Report. By August 1, 2025, the Consultant will review all other District- and school-level policies, procedures, and practices related to harassment involving students, including related materials (e.g., student and employee handbooks, student codes of conduct, ethical standards for employees, and discipline policies) and provide a Policies and Procedures Report to the United States and the District that:
i. Assesses the effectiveness of current District- and school-level policies, procedures, and practices for ensuring the District responds promptly and effectively to harassment involving students, and identifies any concerns;
ii. Recommends changes to District- and school-level policies, procedures, and practices and identifies any additional resources the District needs to implement such changes;
iii. Provides recommendations for ensuring that schools effectively identify, address, and prevent harassment in low-supervision areas, such as bathrooms, locker rooms, parking lots, and hallways;
iv. Provides recommendations for ensuring that District- and school-level policies, procedures, and practices recognize that conduct that is not overtly directed at an individual student may still constitute harassment and create or contribute to a hostile educational environment for students; and
v. Provides recommendations for ensuring that, in the process of addressing student disciplinary incidents, administrators appropriately consider all relevant context, including whether harassment was a precipitating or contributing factor.
