The California Department of Education criticized the Tamalpais Union High School District for mishandling an investigation regarding antisemitic comments made by a teacher during class. A complaint was filed following remarks about Jewish holidays, to which the district inadequately responded using incorrect process guidelines. The state determined that the investigation's resolution failed to recognize unlawful discrimination under California education codes. Additionally, the district neglected to inform the appellant of the right to appeal, which led to confusion and delayed resolution, compelling further review by state officials.
"The investigation involved remarks a Spanish teacher at Redwood High School allegedly made on Oct. 11 during the Jewish holiday season, specifically during the observance of Rosh Hashana."
"The department's decision said the district erred in following a complaint against a teacher policy. Instead, the district should have used a uniform complaint policy process, or UCP."
