*Join 9th Grade Leadership!*

Hey Class of 2025, Rep your hive! Even if you have not thought of yourself
as a leader, you should consider adding your name to the 9th Grade
Leadership Lottery. Instead of an election or interview, ASB Leadership
will be conducting a lottery to select one representative from each Hive
and an additional five students from any hive.

Over the course of 10-12 weeks as a team, you will work on a team
fundraiser, decide on an activity where you will spend those funds, and
collaborate on a 9th grade community campaign. We hope that many of you in
the Class of 2025 will enter into this Leadership Lottery starting today up
until the deadline of October 8th. The team will be selected on lucky
October 13th.

Complete this form <https://forms.gle/i4JK3YNUbF9s2qWX9> by October 8th.

Submitted by Anna Khan-Akselrod <annakhanakselrod at students.berkeley.net>,
Commissioner of Elections and Mr. V

The Young Adult Project (YAP) is happy to return back to BHS with our
Leadership for Life Academy program!!! Our program is to assist 9th graders
and find various ways to help students transition from middle school to
high school. The staff will give participants the necessary skills to
better manage their school lives; as well as give them the tools needed to
enhance and balance their social lives. Students will address topics about
time management and communication. But they will also explore different
study methods to find which works best for them. Overall the goal is to
give these students a learning advantage where they can grow in an
environment and to give them that extra support to be successful.   Below
is a summarized list of topics that will be addressed in the Leadership
Academy. Pls, see attached flyer and registration form.  Our program will
be on Zoom for now.  Program starts on October 5th, Tuesday and Thursday at
3:30pm.

*Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy*

The Berkeley Unified School District is committed to providing a
hostile-free working and learning environment. The District prohibits
discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based
on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender,
gender identity/expression, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding/lactation
status (related medical conditions), religion, color, national origin
(including language restrictions and possession of a driver’s license
(issued under Vehicle Code), ancestry, immigration status, physical or
mental disability (including clinical depression and bipolar disorder,
HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy, seizure disorder, diabetes, multiple
sclerosis, and heart attack), medical condition (cancer-related and genetic
characteristics), military and veteran status, marital status, registered
domestic partner status, age (40 and above), genetic information, political
belief or affiliation (unless union related), a person’s association with a
person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived
characteristics, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local
law, ordinance, or regulation in any program or activity it conducts or to
which it provides significant assistance.


Discrimination is different treatment based on a protected characteristic
in the context of an educational program, work or activity without a
legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that interferes with or limits the
individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services,
activities, or privileges provided by the District or includes an adverse
employment action.


Hostile environment harassment occurs when a target is subjected to
unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, which is both
subjectively offensive to the target and would be offensive to a reasonable
person of similar circumstances/characteristics and is sufficiently so
severe, and so pervasive to interfere with or limit an individual’s ability
to effectively work or to participate in or benefit from the services,
activities, or opportunities offered by the District. Harassment may take
many forms, including but not limited to, verbal remarks and name-calling,
graphic and written statements, or any conduct that may be threatening or
humiliating. Harassment based on any of the above protected categories is a
form of unlawful discrimination and will not be tolerated by the District
and can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or
employee.


Upon witnessing an act of discrimination, harassment, bullying,
intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived protected
characteristics, school personnel are required to take immediate steps to
intervene when it is safe to do so. Once a school/office has expressed
notice or reason to know of such conduct, whether carried out by employees,
students, or third parties, it should take immediate and appropriate steps
to investigate, determine what occurred, take prompt and effective steps
reasonably calculated to end the conduct, eliminate a hostile environment,
if one has been created and prevent the conduct from occurring again. These
steps should be taken regardless of whether an individual makes a complaint
or asks the school/office to take action. Complaints are protected from
retaliation. The District prohibits retaliation against any person who
files a complaint or an appeal, reports instances of noncompliance,
discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation, or who participates
in the complaint-filing or investigation process. This nondiscriminatory
policy applies to all acts related to school activity or school attendance
within any school/office under the jurisdiction of the Berkeley Unified
School District.


For more information, or to file a complaint please contact:

District Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer Berkeley Unified School
District, 2020 Bonar Street, Room 117, Berkeley CA 94702 Phone: (510)
