The Kyrene School District will implement equity measures after a principal failed to address an anti-Semitic harassment case adequately.
The Kyrene Elementary School District is required to put in place a series of equity measures after the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights determined the district violated the Civil Rights Act by allowing a young girl to be harassed about her Jewish heritage.
The principal also was delayed in addressing the student's schedule, which resulted in her attending classes with the nine students who had been harassing her until her schedule, not theirs, was changed, according to the letter. The principal also failed to interview teachers who had oversight of the classrooms where some of the harassment happened and by failing to do so,"the district disregarded its obligation to assess whether the verified widespread conduct negatively impacted other students." with Kyrene.
Conduct a climate survey to assess the prevalence of harassment in the student’s former school and provide suggestions for effective ways to address harassment. Helm also said the district strives to strengthen its commitment to non-discrimination, and much of the work required in the resolution is underway in Kyrene. In May of this year, the school approved its first diversity, equity and inclusion policy.
