Because racial harassment and/or ethnic intimidation is such a serious matter, telling the truth is especially important. Anyone who makes a charge of racial harassment knowing that it is not true may be disciplined.

Students and staff are expected to be truthful if asked any questions about an incident involving racial harassment. When a person does report an incident, retaliation (trying to punish that person) is also against District rules.

The law protects students from racial harassment and/or ethnic intimidation in all of a school's programs or activities-at school, on a school bus, at a class or at a program sponsored by the school at another location.
