Respect and Dignity Policy
The Board of Education believes it is part of our
responsibility to provide, orderly and harmonious environment in which
respect for the dignity and worth of every member of the school
community is recognized and promoted. The Board believes that all
employees, parent/guardians and students are entitled to be treated and
are obligated to treat others with courtesy, fairness and
decency. Only through the commitment and ongoing attention of each of us to a safe, caring and
supportive atmosphere can we expect to achieve our objective of
enabling all our students to become capable and responsible lifelong
learners.
Lexington has a diverse, multicultural school community, a fact the
Board considers an asset and a source of pride and enrichment.
This diversity, however, underscores the importance of sensitivity to
the backgrounds,
feelings, and concerns of students and community members and of meeting
the moral imperative of an equal opportunity society free of prejudice
and discrimination. Accordingly, in this school district,
statements or behavior by any member of the school community which
insults, degrades, harasses or stereotypes any other person on the
basis of race, gender, handicap, physical condition, socioeconomic
background, ethnic or national origin, or religion is unacceptable.
