It is important to know that not every act which relates to the race or ethnicity of others and that may offend one person or group would be considered a violation of the District's racial harassment policy. Every incident is judged separately.

At the same time, just one act, if it is serious enough, could be considered racial harassment and/or ethnic intimidation.

Students or staff who racially harass or ethnically intimidate are subject to disciplinary action. So are other responsible District staff if they fail to investigate such offenses.

The discipline might be fairly light or it might be serious. Students may be expelled from school. Employees may be fired.
