Safe school climate

Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District leaders have released more information about ongoing efforts to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students. In 2020, spurred by calls from students to increase efforts to combat sexual harassment and all forms of discrimination and mistreatment, the district made a public commitment to prioritize school climate.

Since then, district officials have updated administrative policies and its extracurricular code of conduct. The board of trustees has also funneled money into positions like an equity and Title IX coordinator and a director of school culture, climate and curriculum.
