EDUCATIONAL PARTNER:
Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome! We are excited to begin the 2015-2016 school year with you. Each member of the school team
(students, parents, teachers, and staff) has made an informed decision when choosing and committing to be
here. As members of this team we will do whatever it takes to ensure the academic, behavioral, and social
success of each individual student.
We stand at a very special point in time. Educational research clearly states that ALL students, regardless of
socio-economic status or ethnicity, can learn when provided with high expectations, rigorous standards, and
exceptional teaching. There are no excuses for students, parents, teachers and school administrators. There
are also no shortcuts on the road to high achievement.
To meet this challenge, students, parents, educators and community members must work collaboratively. We
must be able to rely on one another. Our relationships will grow stronger as we build trust and learn to value
one anothers unique skills and contributions. Ultimately, our relationships and efforts will continue to yield
outstanding results in student achievement as we have already demonstrated on state-wide measures of student
performance.
There is even greater excitement as we continue with our mission in the 2015-2016 school year. The relentless
efforts of dedicated community members, teachers, staff, and parents will help all Fortune schools become one
of the highest performing school systems in America.
Parental involvement is also a crucial component in creating a learning community that meets the safety and
academic needs of all students. Please read through this handbook carefully and keep it so that you may have it
available for future reference. This handbook has been designed to communicate the basic policies that we all
must follow to ensure that learning remains the focus every minute of each day.
We look forward to working with you to prepare our students to become life-long learners and leaders.
Sincerely,
Margaret Fortune
President/CEO
STUDENT/PARENT HANDBOOK 2015-2016

Vision
To prepare teachers for service in public schools with competence and sensitivity that will enable
them to develop students to their fullest potential.
Mission
To graduate high-achieving students of good character prepared for college and citizenship in a
democratic society.
Five Pillars
1. High Expectations
All schools in the Fortune network have high expectations for academic achievement and conduct
that are clearly defined, measurable, and make no excuses based on the background of students.
Students, parents, teachers, and staff create and reinforce a culture of achievement and support
through a range of formal and intrinsic rewards and consequences for academic performance and
behavior.
2. Choice and Commitment
Students, their parents, and the staff of every Fortune school choose to participate in the program.
No one is assigned or forced to attend. Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the
school and to each other and must be willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve
success.
3. More Time
We know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to success in academics and life. With an
extended school day, week, and year, students have more time in the classroom to acquire the
academic knowledge and skills that prepare them for competitive colleges, as well as more
opportunities to engage in diverse extracurricular experiences.
4. Focus on Results
We focus relentlessly on high student performance through standardized tests and other objective
measures. Just as there are no shortcuts, there are no exceptions. Students are expected to
achieve a level of academic performance that will enable them to succeed in the nations best
colleges and the world beyond.
5. Citizenship
We train all students to become leaders and all of our staff shall model leadership qualities.
Principals are given independent control of staffing and budget decisions. In addition to principals,
staff members who demonstrate necessary leadership potential are given responsibilities extending
beyond a single classroom. Most importantly, students are given leadership development training
and opportunities to practice leadership skills on a daily basis both inside and outside the
classroom.
Three Rules
1. Listen
2. Respect
3. Work Hard

PARENT INVOLVEMENT
To put it simply, we cannot provide a high-quality education without including the parent(s) of every student in
the learning process. Educators and parents cannot work in isolation of each other. In order for learning to take
place for every student, there must be a continuum of instruction that lasts much longer than the time students
are in school. By working together as trusted partners, parents and educators can create an educational
experience for each student that allows learning to continue at home and beyond the classroom walls. Research
states that:
When parents are involved, students tend to achieve at higher levels in school, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnic/racial background, or parents' education level.
The more extensive the parent involvement, the higher the student achievement.
When parents are involved in students' education, those students generally have higher grades and test
scores, better attendance, and complete homework more consistently.
Students whose parents are involved in their lives have higher graduation rates and greater enrollment
rates in postsecondary education.
In programs designed to involve parents in full partnerships, student achievement for disadvantaged
children not only improves, but can also reach levels that are standard for middle-class children.
Because of this overwhelming evidence, we believe it is paramount to include parents in the learning process.
Upon enrollment, parents sign a Commitment to Excellence Contract to volunteer 40 hours of service each
year to improve the achievement of their child and the school community. The school also provides structures
to involve parents in their childs learning and coordinate parent communication, workshops, activities, and clubs
to educate, train, and empower parents to better support their childs pursuit of an excellent education.
Several of the activities that count as Parent Hours are listed below (see Parent Passport for more information):
Attending Student/Parent/Teacher Conferences and Parent Orientations

Participating in Parent Events or Parent Group Meetings
Buying healthy food for parent events or for your childs classroom ($5 = 1 hour)
Completing at-home projects for teacher or Parent Liaison (maximum: 30 minutes per day, per child)
Helping during Study Hall
Homework or reading time at home with your student(s) (maximum: 30 minutes per day, per child)
Morning greeting (2 mornings = 1 hour of credit)
Set up/clean up for school events
Tutoring
Volunteering in your childs classroom
Students will not be penalized in the event a parent does not fulfill their 40 hour commitment.
Department of Justice Checks
Before authorizing any person to serve as a volunteer working with students who is not directly supervised by
site personnel, the school shall ask the Department of Justice to conduct an automated records check.
Volunteers shall not begin to work with students until all checks are completed, and shall be informed that the
school is conducting this records search.
Volunteers having continuous contact with students shall undergo fingerprinting pursuant to Education Code
45125. (Education Code 45106, 45125, 45347, 45349) at their own expense.
A school designee shall ensure that volunteer projects comply with health and safety codes, building codes, fire
codes, and environmental laws. The school will provide on-site assistance and supervision for such projects,
depending upon their complexity and the expertise of the volunteers. Projects shall be inspected upon
completion to ensure that the work was done satisfactorily. Electrical, electronic, heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, plumbing, welding and structural work must be done by a licensed contractor or performed under
the supervision of a skilled maintenance employee with knowledge of the trade involved.

CAMPUS SUPERVISION
The school opens its doors at 7:15 am each school day and discontinues providing general supervision 15
minutes after dismissal time. We are not responsible for general student supervision prior to or after this time.
Students who are enrolled in and participate in the After School Program will be supervised on campus until a
parent or guardian picks them up, consistent with the rules for the After School Program. Teachers and staff are
responsible for student supervision during the school day and during all off- campus field lessons.
Per the Commitment to Excellence Contract, students are to remain in class until their grade level dismissal
time. In addition, parents and guardians will be prompt when picking their children up from school or schoolsponsored field lessons. Families must pick their children up no later than 15 minutes after the dismissal time,
per the grade level bell schedule. Students who participate in the After School Program will be supervised on
campus until a parent or guardian picks up their student. Law enforcement or CPS may be notified in the case of
a student who is consistently not picked up on time from school, field lessons, or the After School Program.
We encourage parents and guardians to visit and help in their students classroom. All visitors must check-in at
the school office prior to visiting classrooms. Visitors are required to wear a sticker that identifies them as a
visitor to the school. Before leaving campus, all visitors are required to sign out in the office.
CLOSED CAMPUS POLICY
All schools in the Fortune network are closed campuses. This means that students are to remain on campus
once they have entered the school premises. Students are not permitted to leave school grounds without first
clearing through the office. Only a parent or guardian listed on the Emergency Contacts (see student
enrollment application) may sign the student out from school. Notes are not accepted.
DAILY DISMISSAL
Parents and guardians will be prompt when picking their children up from school, the After School Program (if
applicable), and/or school-sponsored events. Law enforcement or CPS may be notified in the case of a student
who is consistently not picked up on time from school, field lessons, or the After School Program.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
It is discouraged that medications be administered while children are at school. However, we understand that it
sometimes cannot be avoided. In the instance where medication must be administered during school hours, an
Authorization to Administer Medication form must be filled out by the students physician or the medication
will not be administered under any circumstances.
For safety reasons, parents must bring all prescription medication to the school office where it is to be stored.
Prescription medications must be in a pharmacy-labeled container that includes the childs name, medication,
dosage, the prescribers name and directions for administration. If there is a need for cough medicine or the like
to be given during school hours, either the parent will need to come to school to administer it, or the parent
will be required to obtain a prescription from the doctor with dosing instructions and the medication will only
be accepted if it has a proper pharmacy label.
New Authorization to Administer Medication forms must be completed with any changes in medication, dosage
or time to be given. The parent agrees to pick up expired or unused medication within one week of notification
and/or prior to the end of the school year or it will be destroyed.
STUDENT CONDUCT
All schools in the Fortune network have high standards for academic achievement and student conduct that are
clearly defined, measurable and do not allow for excuses based on the background of students. Students are
expected to be responsible for their own behavior. Clear and consistent intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and
consequences are strictly applied and enforced just as they will be in our students lives beyond the school
campus.
10
School administrators, teachers and staff will ensure that every student who wants to learn will be able to do so
in a safe, productive, and clean environment. In return, students are expected to work hard, have a positive
attitude, and treat classmates, staff, visitors, and property with kindness, courtesy and respect.

HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY
Our campus brings together a diverse group of individuals. We are guided by the principle that respect and
consideration for all individuals is foremost in all school activities. It is unlawful to discriminate against any individual
based on ethnic origin, race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, nationality, sexual orientation, age or physical/mental
disability. It is the responsibility of every member of the school community to observe and uphold the principles of
equal opportunity as they affect staff, faculty and students in all aspects of school life. It is the responsibility of every
member of the school community to actively promote appropriate workplace behavior. Any form of coercion or
harassment that insults the dignity of others or impedes their freedom to work and learn will not be tolerated. Any
such form of coercion or harassment will result in appropriate discipline, up to and including, expulsion.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
The schools curriculum is driven by clear content and performance standards for what students should know and be
able to do. For each grade level, standards are based on California state-adopted content standards. Teachers will use
regularly scheduled assessments to measure how well students are mastering the standards.
Teachers use knowledge about student skills to shape whole-class instruction, small-group work, and one-to-one
tutoring. Using individual student data, instruction can be targeted to better meet individual student needs. Teachers do
not simply work to get through a textbook; rather, they establish a big goal for students, diagnose student skills and
needs in order to target instruction appropriately and maximize student achievement toward the set goal.
Teachers will give students and parents/guardians on-going feedback about student performance. Teachers will send
assessments and progress reports home to be signed consistently throughout the year, as well as class and homework
for parents/guardians to sign. Teachers will contact parents/guardians if they see a slip in academic performance,
students performing below their potential, or a skill that needs extra practice at school and/or home.
Report cards will be sent home at the end of each trimester and all students will have three student-led parent teacher
conferences. Parents/guardians will also get feedback about student performance throughout the year.
MEASUREMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Student grades will be based on three (3) areas of development: Academics, Attendance and Leadership.
1. Academics (0-4 grade points)
Students can earn 1 grade point for each of the four classes: ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. To earn an
academic point for a class a students final grade for the trimester must be at 80% or higher. Student
performance on specific academic standards will be assessed through multiple measures, including but not
limited to criterion-referenced tests, portfolios, and rubrics.

2. Attendance (0-3 grade points)

Students can earn 1 grade point for each of the following areas of Attendance:
Presence: daily attendance in class, students must have no more than 2 unexcused absences in
the trimester. (Suspensions are considered an unexcused absence.)
Punctuality: coming to school on time for the trimester. Students must have no more than 6
tardy days in the trimester.
Participation: active participation in the classroom.

3. Leadership (0-3 grade points)
Students can earn 1 grade point in each of the following areas of Leadership.
Citizenship: acceptable behavior for the trimester.
Character: effort and determination to meet academic and behavior goals (individual and schoolwide). Classroom teachers will determine how students receive credit based on individual
classroom behavior management systems.
Service: participation in and completion of community-based service learning projects.

GRADING AND REPORT CARDS
The school year is divided into three grading periods (trimesters). The trimesters are long enough (approximately 12
weeks) to allow students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of specific skills. At the end of each trimester,
students will receive OVERALL grades in each of five subjects. The subjects that will be graded are English Language
Arts (ELA), Math, History, and Science. In addition to these subjects, middle school students will also be graded in
Physical Education and Spanish. Teachers will clearly state the grading standards for their class and/or subject area at
the beginning of the year.
If a students skills are below grade level, he or she will receive instruction using intervention materials. Academic
interventions are focused on: identifying gaps in students learning, setting high, standards-based goals for learning, and
relentlessly working to help a student reach grade level proficiency. However, while a student is receiving intervention
instruction, his or her grades will be based on the students performance on grade level standards.
15
COMMUNICATING OVERALL GRADES AND REPORT CARDS

Parents/guardians are required to participate in three Student-led Parent/Teacher Conferences (1 or more of which
may be at the students home or off-campus) during each academic year. These conferences are focused on their
childs trimester report card. During this meeting, parents/guardians will have the opportunity to learn about their
childs academic progress through a student-led presentation of the report card and samples of student work, as well as
receive ideas and instructional materials to assist their child at home. Parents/guardians and students will also problemsolve with the help of teachers to determine strategies to maximize the performance of their child.
HONOR ROLL PROGRAM
The Honor Roll Program is intended to acknowledge student academic excellence. Specifically, it acknowledges
individual high achievement in grade level standards and curricula, which in turn, encourages for each child to maximize
their potential.
Frequency: Honor Roll students will be identified each school trimester.

organization, and/or maturity, pursuant to Education Code 48070-48070.5.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
Referral
Referrals and/or requests for an evaluation for possible Special Education programming are made through the Student
Success Team to the schools Education Specialist. Referral may also be made by parents and outside agencies directly
to the Student Success Team. Parents must be notified in writing when a referral for evaluation is made and written
parental permission must be obtained before an evaluation is conducted.
Evaluation
Evaluation, in accordance with California regulation for Special Education, must be conducted by a state certified
psychologist. Evaluation of progress towards academic goals is conducted annually and triennial reevaluations by the IEP
team are completed every three (3) years on each student continuing in Special Education programs. An Individualized
16
Educational Program Team, which includes parents, the general education teacher, Education Specialist, School
Psychologist on initial and triennial evaluations will determine if a student is eligible to receive services.
ATTENDANCE
Students will be in class by 7:45 am every day (Monday Friday), and remain at school until grade-level dismissal. Later
Gators will be in class by 8:30 am every day. On specific days when dismissal times change, families will be given written
notice of the adjusted time.
All missed work due to an excused or unexcused absence(s) must be completed. All work needing completion or
correction must be fixed. Work can increase. It is the students responsibility to consult with each of his/her teachers
to make sure she/he is aware of all assignments. The time generally allowed to complete this work will be the number
of days the student was absent. For example, if a student was absent for one day, then he or she will have one day to
make up any missed work.
Students with excessive missing assignments, due to absences or other circumstances, may be required to stay at
school until all missed work is completed.
Since absences negatively affect academic achievement, repeated absences shall be reflected in the students grades.
Excessive unexcused absences or instances of tardiness, may lead to the Principal or designee, student, and parent or
guardian meeting to address the issue. A student may be retained if they obtain 10 or more unexcused absences for
the school year. A meeting of appropriate administrators, the child, and parent (Student Attendance Review Team) will
be convened to assist parents and students who have persistent attendance or tardiness problems.
TARDINESS
Parents and guardians will be prompt when bringing their child to school or to other school-sponsored events.
Repeated tardiness can lead to appropriate consequences determined by the administration due to the missed learning
time. For every 15 minutes a student is late to school, he/she will miss 10% of the academic instruction.
ABSENCES
Excused Absence: Absences for proper causes are listed in the State Educational Code for illness, medical, dental, or
optometry appointments.
Unexcused Absence: Absence which occurs with the knowledge and approval of parents or guardian but for reasons
which, though not acceptable under State Law, are not classified as truancy.
If a student is expected to be absent, parents/guardians must contact the school office by phone the night before or the
day of the expected absence. If a student becomes sick in the morning, the parents/guardians must contact the school
office by 7:30 am. If a student is not in the classroom and the school has not been notified of the absence, the parent
or guardian will be called. Upon the students return, the student is expected to bring a signed note from the
parent/guardian or the physician who treated the student, which includes the date or time and a reason for the
absence.
School funding is based on attendance, so accurate record keeping and state law requires parent confirmation of the
reasons for the absences. If your child is ill, it is best for him/her to stay home to get the care needed and prevent the
exposure of illness of others. If for any reason your child is absent from school, please call the school office/or send a
note indicating the reason. The note should state the reason and the dates of absence. State law permits absences for
17
the following reasons: Illness, quarantine (as directed by the Health Department), medical, dental or eye
appointments, or attending the funeral of an immediate family member.

SUSPENSION / EXPULSION
DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS
Prior to student discipline, especially those involving suspension or expulsion or other limitation of fundamentally
protected student rights, every student will have access to the maximum due process protections provided under the
law, within the context of the circumstances. Students who are being considered for suspension and expulsion will be
provided the specific due process protections provided below to safeguard the students interests within the situation.
Suspension Procedure
Suspensions shall be initiated according to the following procedures:
Informal Conference
Suspension shall be preceded by an informal conference conducted by the principal or designee with the student and
whenever practical, the teacher, supervisor or school employee who referred the student to the principal. The
conference may be omitted if the principal or designee determines that an emergency situation exists. An emergency
situation involves a clear and present danger to the lives, safety or health of students or school personnel. If a student
is suspended without this conference, both the parent/guardian and student shall be notified of the students right to
return to school for the purpose of a conference.
Notice to Parents/Guardians
At the time of the suspension, a charter school employee shall make a reasonable effort to contact the parent/guardian
by telephone or in person. Whenever a student is suspended, the parent/guardian shall be notified in writing of the
suspension. This notice shall state the specific offense committed by the student. In addition, the notice may also state
the date and time when the student may return to school. If school officials wish to ask the parent/guardian to confer
regarding matters pertinent to the suspension, the notice may add that state law requires the parent/guardian to
respond to such requests without delay.
Authority to Expel
Only the Fortune School of Education Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the expulsion panel, may expel
a student. The governing board may expel any student found to have committed an expellable offense(s) listed in the
Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion in the student handbook. Except for expulsions for offenses listed under
Education Code Section 48915(c), a student may only be expelled upon the findings and recommendations of the
expulsion panel if the charter school governing board finds that the student committed the expellable offense and at
least one of the following findings may be substantiated:
1) That other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to bring about proper conduct.
2) That due to the nature of the violation, the presence of the student causes a continuing danger to the physical safety
of the student or others.
Expulsion Procedure
Students recommended for expulsion are entitled to a hearing to determine whether the student should be expelled.
The hearing shall be held within thirty (30) school days after the charter school principal or designee determines that
one of the acts listed under Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion has occurred. The hearing will be conducted by
the expulsion panel. The charter school principal will make a recommendation to the expulsion panel. The expulsion
panel shall consist of at least three members who are certificated and neither a teacher of the pupil or a board member
of the charter schools board.
Written notice of the hearing shall be forwarded to the student and the students parent/guardian at least ten (10)
calendar days before the date of the hearing. The notice shall include:
19
1)
2)
3)

A record of the hearing shall be made and may be maintained by any means, including electronic recording, as long as a
reasonably accurate and complete written transcription of the proceedings can be made.
Presentation of Evidence
While technical rules of evidence do not apply to an expulsion hearing, evidence may be admitted and used as proof
only if it is the kind of evidence on which reasonable persons can rely in the conduct of serious affairs. A
recommendation by the expulsion panel to expel must be supported by substantial evidence that the student
committed any of the acts listed in Grounds for Suspension and Expulsion in the student handbook.
Finding of facts shall be based solely on the evidence at the hearing. While no evidence shall be based solely on hearsay,
sworn declarations may be admitted as testimony from witnesses whose disclosure of their identity or testimony at the
hearing may subject them to an unreasonable risk of physical or psychological harm.
The decision of the expulsion panel shall be in the form of a recommendation to the charter school governing board
which will make a final determination regarding the expulsion.
Written Notice to Expel
The principal or designee following a decision of the charter school governing board to expel shall send written notice
of the decision to expel to the student or parent/guardian. This notice shall include the following:
1) The specific offense committed by the student or any of the acts listed in Grounds for Suspension and

20
are provided above, and further rights, such as the right to appeal, record-keeping, and rehabilitation and re-admittance
are included below.
Alternatives to suspension or expulsion will first be attempted with students who are truant, tardy, or otherwise
absent from assigned school activities.
Appeal Rights
Following receipt of the notice of expulsion or suspension, the student shall have the right to appeal that decision to
the full Fortune School of Education Board of Directors. The student shall have 10 days to present her/his intention to
appeal the decision. Upon the appeal, the student shall have the right to a de novo review in front of the full governing
board in closed session, including the full complement of due process rights available to the student during the initial
hearing. The full governing board will then render a final decision regarding the students appeal.
Disciplinary Records
The school shall maintain records of all student suspensions and expulsions at each charter school. Such records shall
be made available for the district / county offices review upon request, but neither the district nor county office of
education shall be involved in the disciplinary decision.

expulsion when the pupil may reapply for readmission.
Readmission

shall be the sole discretion of the governing board following a meeting with the principal and the pupil and guardian or
representative, to determine whether the pupil has successfully completed the rehabilitation plan and to determine
whether the pupil poses a threat to others or will be disruptive to the school environment. The principal shall make a
recommendation to the governing board following the meeting regarding his or her determination.
CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL CODE SECTION 48900

pupil is enrolled determines that the pupil has committed an act as defined pursuant to Education Code 48900.
Students are responsible for their actions and are expected to adhere to the Commitment to Excellence
Contract and school rules and policies. If a student is in violation of a school rule or policy, a teacher or staff
member will refer him/her to the appropriate administrator to determine the consequences based on the type
and severity of the violation.
Corporal Punishment will not be permitted at any Fortune school. Any employee who engages in such action
will be terminated immediately.
21
CONSEQUENCES FOR NOT ADHERING TO THE COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

CONTRACT OR SCHOOL RULES
Minor Violations
Student receives verbal warning. Teacher will talk to student about inappropriate behavior, clearly state
school/classroom expectations, and redirect student to focus on learning.
Student behavior will be tracked and may result in citizenship points being lost (e.g., loss of paycheck
dollars, loss of behavior color, loss of Dojo points).
Repeated Violations
Student is sent to the Porch and parent/guardian will be notified by telephone or in writing as soon as
possible.
Loss of Privileges (school and/or home)
Classroom Job
Field Lesson(s)
Elective activity
Lunch with their peers
Deduction from Behavior Tracker, Daily Salary/Paycheck, or other behavior management
system
Student may also be asked to complete:
Letter of Apology
Verbal Apology
Reflection Journal
Major Violations
Referral to Administration
Community Service (school or classroom clean up)
Mandatory Saturday School (begins at assigned time and may include physical education)
Conference with Student and FamilyParent(s)/guardian(s), student and staff member(s) meet to
discuss student misconduct and come up with best solution(s) to resolve the problem.
Suspension
Student Success Team Meeting
Intervention Plan
Students who choose to use profanity, and/or vandalize school or personal property will be immediately
referred to an administrator and removed from the classroom.
THE PORCH
The Porch is one of the consequences for not adhering to expectations and the Commitment to Excellence
Contract. The Porch means that the student must work in isolation in the classroom. Instead of sitting with the
group, he/she sits apart from the other students. During their time on the Porch, students re-learn the
expectations of each member of the team, and the value of making good choices.
This consequence ends when the teacher(s) see improvement in student conduct (listening, following directions,
respect for self and others, completion of all assigned work). Although, the student is on the Porch, he/she still
receives all instruction and is expected to complete the same class work and homework, but the student works
alone. Furthermore, a student on the Porch:
Eats at a separate table or room at lunch and breakfast

Must ask to go to the bathroom at a set time in the morning and afternoon
Walks in the back of lines
Loses other school privileges
22
Students on the Porch must ask permission from the teacher to enter and leave a classroom. This enables the
teachers to more effectively monitor their actions and provide a re-focus at the beginning of every class period.
Students on the Porch are excluded from certain field lessons and other school privileges.
There are two (2) reasons for the existence of the Porch. First, this reinforces the basic reward and
consequence system of the school and life in general: good things happen when an individual makes the right
choices and negative things happen when an individual makes poor choices.
Second, the school places a high value on the concept of TEAM Together Everyone Achieves More. Students
are expected to contribute to the team of students and teachers by respecting others and doing their share of
the work. The Porch is a consequence where all the benefits of the TEAM are taken away and thus, the student
comes to value the advantages of being a member of the schools TEAM.
PROHIBITION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY STUDENTS POLICY
Each school in the Fortune network desires to maintain an academic environment in which all students are
treated with respect and dignity. Sexual harassment is specifically prohibited by state and federal law and
instances of harassment may result in both civil and criminal liability on the part of the individual harasser as well
as the School Board. Sexual harassments destructive impact wastes human potential, demoralizes students, and
perpetuates the tendency to further unacceptable behavior. For these reasons, harassment against any student
on the basis of sex is forbidden. The Board will not tolerate sexual harassment activity by any of its students.
Sexual Harassment: The unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other inappropriate
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, wherever such harassment occurs on school property or at a
school-sponsored event, that is aimed at coercing an unwilling person into a sexual relationship whether or not
it involves physical contact; or that substantially interferes with a students academic performance, or creates an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive school environment. Examples of sexual harassment may include but are not
limited to the following:
a. Verbal harassment or abuse of a sexual nature;
b. Subtle pressure for sexual activity;
c. Repeated remarks to a person with sexual or demeaning implications (e.g., a persons body, clothes, or sexual
activity);
d. Unwelcome or inappropriate physical contact such as patting, pinching, or unnecessary touching;
e. Suggesting or demanding sexual involvement accompanied by implied or explicit threats;
f. Display of sexually suggestive objects, pictures, or written materials.
Compliant Process: Any student who alleges sexual harassment by another student should complain to the
Principal or teacher. Filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting sexual harassment will not affect the students
status, extracurricular activities, grade or any other assignments. The complaint should be in writing, state the
act or acts, state the date(s), state the names of witnesses, and be signed. The right of confidentiality, both of the
complainant and of the accused, will be respected, consistent with the Boards legal obligations and with the
necessity to investigate allegations of misconduct and take corrective action when this conduct has occurred. In
determining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, the totality of the circumstances, nature of
the conduct and the context in which the alleged conduct occurred will be investigated.
Penalties: A substantiated charge against a student shall subject that student to disciplinary action consistent
with California State Law for sexual harassment.

STUDENT SEARCHES AND SEIZURES

Reasonable Suspicion
A personal search of a student may be conducted if there is reasonable suspicion of prohibited contraband. All
personal searches should be conducted only by a school administrator. For example, students who are suspected
to be in possession of contraband that is in violation of state or federal law may be searched. A reasonable
suspicion is one based upon objective, observable facts. The scope or extent of the search must also be reasonably
related to the reason for the search.
Student Searches
Searches of student backpacks, desks, and similar facilities may be conducted at the direction of the principal or his
or her designee, at any time, with or without suspicion, and with or without the consent of the student. Searches
of outer garments such as jackets and coats, purses, wallets, book bags, backpacks, and similar items of personal
property that are in a student's possession may be conducted in the same manner.
NOTICE OF PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND OTHER DRUGS

We believe that involvement with, and/or use of controlled substances will seriously impair students ability to
achieve academically and to live healthy lives. Schools in the Fortune network will not tolerate the possession, use,
or sale of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs on school locations.
