Asbestos Hazard (AHERA) Notification Uncontrolled asbestos contamination in buildings can be a significant environmental and public health problem. Both the public and private sectors have been dealing with the asbestos issue for many years. In 1986, Congress enacted the Asbestos Emergency Response Act primarily to require school districts to identify asbestos containing materials (ACM) in their school buildings and take appropriate actions to control the release of asbestos fibers. In 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Act (EPA) finalized a regulatory program which enforces the AHERA. In compliance with the AHERA regulations, Loon Lake School was built asbestos free in 1992 according to Washington State requirements. The Loon Lake Home Link building was certified asbestos free in 1988 by an EPA accredited building inspector.

Education
of Students with Disabilities Under
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 It is the
intent of the District to ensure that students who are disabled within the
definition of Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are identified,
evaluated, and provided with appropriate educational
services. Students may be disabled under this policy even
though they are not eligible for services pursuant to the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil rights law, which
protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education. A child is a
"qualified disabled person" under
Section 504 if he or she (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities
(such as caring for one's self, performing manual
tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working), has a record of such an
impairment, or is regarded as having such an
impairment; and (2) is between the ages of 3 to 21 years old. Information and application forms for
504 accommodations are available
at the Loon Lake School District Office.
Home-Based
Instruction
Parents providing home-based instruction to their children must,
according to state law, file an annual declaration with the school (RCW
28A.27.310). The statement must be filed by September 15 each year and
can be obtained by calling the district office at 509-233-2212. I t is
important to both the school district and the parents that this
statement be filed by the deadline. Otherwise, we may mistakenly assume
that your child is truant and begin legal proceedings. Children between
the ages of 8 and 18 are required to be enrolled in school, and assuring
that children are properly enrolled is the parent's legal
responsibility.
Sexual
Harassment
Loon Lake School District is committed to a positive and
productive education and working environment free from discrimination,
including sexual harassment. The district prohibits sexual harassment of
students, employees and others involved in school district activities.
RCW 28A.640.020 requires that the Superintendent of Public
Instruction shall develop regulations and guidelines to eliminate sex
discrimination as it applies to public school employment, counseling and
guidance services to students, access to course offerings, and in
textbooks and instructional materials used by students. Loon Lake School
District is in compliance with all requirements as mandated by state and
federal law.
Prohibition

is committed to a safe and civil educational environment for all
students, employees, volunteers and patrons, free from harassment,
intimidation or bullying. "Harassment,
intimidation or bullying" means any intentional written, verbal, or
physical act, including but not limited to one shown to be motivated
by any characteristic in RCW 9A.36.080(3) (race, color,
religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or mental or physical disability), or other distinguishing
characteristics, when the intentional written,
verbal, or physical act: · Physically harms a student or damages the student's
property; or · Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's
education; or · Is so severe, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating
or threatening educational environment; or · Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly

Notification
of Rights Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
affords parents and students over 18 years of age (eligible student)
certain rights with respect to the student's education records.
They are as follows: 1)
The right to inspect and review the student's educational
records. 2)
The right to request the amendment of the student's education
record that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or
misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask Loon Lake
School District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or
misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the
part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate or
misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record as requested
by the parent or eligible student, the district will notify the parent
or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a
hearing regarding the request for amendment. 3)
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable
information contained in the student's education records, except to the
extent that FERPA authorizes
disclosure without consent. One exception, which
permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials
with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person
employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or
support staff (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person
serving on the School Board; a person or company with whom the district
has contacted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, medical
consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official
committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her
tasks. A school official has a legitimate,
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record
in order to fulfill his or her responsibilities. Upon request, the district
discloses education records without consent to officials of another
school district in which a student seeks to or intends to enroll. 4) The
right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by the district to comply with the
requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that
administers FERPA is listed below. 5) Family
