3115C Supportive Measures
A. Supportive Measures
The District will offer and coordinate Supportive Measures, as appropriate, for Complainants, Respondents, and others whose access to the District’s education program and activity was impacted by alleged Unlawful Discrimination. Supportive Measures are designed to restore or preserve a person’s access to the District’s education program or activity or provide support during the District’s Grievance Procedure and informal resolution process. Supportive Measures are available at any time, including before, during, and after the Grievance Procedure or Informal Resolution Process.
Supportive Measures must not unreasonably burden any Party.
1. Examples of Supportive Measures
Supportive Measures may include, but are not limited to:
a. District-provided counseling;
b. Course-related adjustments, such as deadline extensions;
c. Modifications to class, extracurricular, or work schedules;
d. Provision of an escort to ensure that the Complainant and Respondent can safely attend classes and school activities;
e. Training and education programs; and
f. Mutual no-contact orders.
Any Party may seek modification or termination of a supportive measure applicable to them if circumstances materially change.
The District must not disclose information about any Supportive Measures to persons other than the person to whom they apply, unless necessary to provide the Supportive Measure or to restore or preserve a party’s access to the education program or activity, or as otherwise authorized by law.
B. Challenging Supportive Measures
For allegations of Title IX Sex Discrimination, any Party may seek modification or reversal of a decision to provide, deny, modify, or terminate Supportive Measures applicable to them. To request a modification to Supportive Measures, the Party must submit a written request to the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator will designate an impartial employee as an Appeals Officer to review the challenge. The Appeals Officer must be an employee, must not be the person who made the challenged decision, and must have the authority to modify or reverse Supportive Measures. The Appeals Officer will only modify or reverse a decision about Supportive Measures if the Appeals Officer determines that the initial decision to provide, deny, modify, or terminate the supportive measure is inconsistent with the definition of Supportive Measures in this Policy.
C. Students with Disabilities
If a Party is a student with a disability, the applicable Coordinator or designee must consult with one of more members, as appropriate, of the student’s Section 504 or Individualized Education Program Team (as applicable), to ensure compliance with Section 504 or the IDEA in the implementation of Supportive Measures.
