The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District (SMJUHSD), including Pioneer High School, is dedicated to providing equal access to both employment and educational opportunities. SMJUHSD strictly prohibits discrimination in all its programs, activities, and employment practices. This commitment extends to ensuring that no individual or group is discriminated against based on actual or perceived characteristics.
These characteristics include age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, ethnic group identifications, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, marital, family or parental status, medical condition, military or veteran status, nationality, national origin, immigration status, political affiliation, pregnancy and related conditions, race, religion, retaliation, sex (including sexual harassment), sexual orientation, or any other basis protected by California state and federal non-discrimination laws. It is important to note that the bases of discrimination may vary between education services and employment.
SMJUHSD’s prohibition of discrimination encompasses discriminatory harassment, intimidation, and bullying. This protection applies to race or ethnicity, color, ancestry, nationality, national origin, ethnic group identifications, age, religion, marital status, family or parental status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or genetic information, or association with anyone possessing these characteristics.
Any individual who believes they have experienced discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying should immediately contact the District’s Discrimination, Equity and Title IX Compliance Officer, Mr. Salvador Reynoso.
