Policies

The Governing Board is committed to equal opportunity for all individuals in education. District programs, activities and employment shall be free from discrimination based on gender, race, color, religion, national origin, ethnic group, marital or parental status, physical or mental disability or any other unlawful consideration. The Board shall promote programs which ensure that discriminatory practices are eliminated in all district activities.” (BP 0410)

This is a “non-smoking” campus.

Dress Expectations

The purpose of the Career and Technical Education training programs is to prepare students for the workforce. Proper readiness is a complete package that involves more than just technical training. Readiness includes proper work attitude, academic skills, and grooming. For the latter, Ventura Adult and Continuing Education have established minimum expectations in the areas of business dress and grooming for students in training.

The guideline followed is that students’ appearance should meet the conventions of the business for which they are being trained to enter. While formal business dress is not required, relaxed dress along the lines of the workplace is expected. Scrubs are required for medical students. Beware of being too casual. Making a good impression on externship employers or prospective employers, whether in the classroom or on an interview, is crucial to employability. Clean, well-groomed hair (and beard) and clean, well-chosen clothes can make the difference.

Harassment

Ventura Unified School District has zero tolerance of any form of verbal, physical, or sexual harassment in order to ensure positive learning environments for all students.

Students and staff are urged to immediately report any incidents of sexual harassment to the principal or any other staff member.

Formal complaints of harassment can be filed in accordance with the VUSD Uniform Complaint Procedures.

Uniform Complaint Procedure

It is the intention of the Ventura Unified School District Governing Board that every member of the community shall have the right for prompt and orderly redress of a grievance relating to an alleged violation of federal or state laws or regulations of educational programs.

Therefore, pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 4600, the District has developed necessary procedures to process a complaint regarding educational services provided by the adult school. The policy and forms are available at the VACE offices.
