ACKNOWLEDGE receipt of the Handbook entitled: "Dealing with Hate-
Motivated Behavior and Crime" , prepared by the Contra Costa County
Office of Education Task Force on Anti-Hate Crime, which included
County representatives . .
BACKGROUND:
In 1993, under the auspices of the County Superintendent of Schools
and with the participation of the Board of Supervisors ' Education
Committee, a Task Force on Hate Crimes was formed in response to
the perceived need for some guidance for school personnel on how to
handle hate-motivated incidents when they occurred,, in the schools .
This problem was brought' to the, attention of the Education
Committee by Supervisor Tom Torlakson.
The Task Force worked from. a Handbook which had been prepared in
Alameda County and modified the Handbook to fit the particular
needs of ContraNCosta County students, educators and officials .
The attached Handbook is the product of this work. The Handbook
touches on suchsubjects as : "How do we prevent hate-motivated
behavior?" , "When is hate-motivated behavior a crime?" , "Who plays
a role in dealing with hate-motivated behavior and crime?" , How do
we respond to hate-motivated incidents that occur on the school
site?" , "What should the victim of a hate-motivated incident do?" ,
and "How do you deal with the media after a hate-motivated
incident?"

To Our Friends in the Education Community:
Preventing hate motivated behavior in our community and learning to
respond appropriately when it occurs have got to be among our
primary objectives . Incidents of hate-motivated behavior have
increased throughout our community in recent months. Schools are
not immune to this problem. The Board of Supervisors has worked
closely with the education community in Contra Costa County in an
effort to address this problem. This effort must be built upon
community and school awareness of the uniquely destructive and
' victimizing nature of hate-motivated behavior and crime.
Students have aright to be able to attend schools that provide a
safe and secure environment where learning and socialization can
take place free ilof intolerance, bigotry, harassment, vandalism and
violence. That right extends to staff members, parents and others
who make up the' school community.
We have an interest in working with school boards, districts and
individual� schools to develop and implement policies, guidelines j and plans for recognizing, responding to, and preventing hate-
motivated behavior and crime in schools and the community. We
believe that parents and the school community should be engaged as
partners in prevention efforts by being informed about the
existence and nature of hate-motivated behavior and crime and what
role each can play in its prevention.
>� This handbook, 1which has been modified from one produced for the
Alameda County schools, should assist schools in dealing with hate-
motivated behavior and crime by providing guidelines in the areas
of prevention, intervention and support for students, families and
staff. The outcomes we hope to see are to encourage school boards,
districts and schools to include within their comprehensive school
safety and discipline policies and plans, the following, to assure
safe, secure schools :
r
-2-
recognize the destructive nature of hate-motivated behavior
and crime
• assure quick and adequate responses to hate incidents and
crimes
• provide thoughtful support to victims and rehabilitation of
perpetrators
• create supportive environments for diverse student bodies
• provide appropriate multicultural curriculum
• provide positive models of behavior
1 To reverse the trend of increasing hate-motivated behavior and
crime, each member of the community, including members of the
education community, must personally and collaboratively commit to
recognizing that this is a serious problem, that it affects
everyone, and that only by implementing a proactive plan can we
mend this tear in the fabric of our society. We commend this
handbook to you as one tool to assist in achieving these outcomes .

IDear Colleagues:
The California Constitution guarantees all students and school staff the
right to a safe school environment. That right is violated when bigotry,
vandalism, harassment and intolerance occur in our schools.
This handbook provides guidelines and resources for preventing and
dealing with the hate-motivated behavior that has become increasingly
evident in schools throughout the country.
Local school boards and administrators are encouraged to use these
materials to develop policies and regulations to ensure safe schools. But
policies and regulations are only the beginning. To make the rules work,
it is essential to involve staff, students, parents, community members,
government officials and agencies in ways outlined in this handbook.
' Hate-motivated behavior is a serious problem which can only be resolved
if we motivate and mobilize everyone involved to take responsibility for
solving the problem. That is our task.
Sincer ,

Sample Board Policies
1. Sample Board Policy I
An established board policy is critical to the successful implementation of districtwide
hate-motivated incident prevention.An official policy helps to ensure that each school
' perceives curtailment and prevention of hate-motivated incidents, along with victim
amelioration,as a mandate.
It is the intent of(district)to promote harmonious human relationships that enable
students to gain a true understanding of the rights and duties of people in our society.
Each school is responsible for creating an environment that fosters positive
attitudes and practices among students and staff. In addition,the school is responsible
' for creating and protecting an environment that mitigates against anxiety-producing or
demeaning incidents taldng place within the confines of the school. These incidents
include,but are not limited to those targeting members of a particular race,ethnicity,
religion, sex, disability,or sexual orientation.
It is our intent to provide an environment that further allows persons to realize
their full individual potential through understanding and appreciation of the society's
diversity of race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. To accomplish this objec-
tive,the district will be accountable through a visible commitment to human rights.'
' 2. Sample Board Policy II
The governing board of the (District) affirms the right for all students, staff and
parents/guardians to be free from hate crimes,abusive statements,or any activity which
' degrades the unique qualities of an individual such as race,ethnicity,culture,heritage,
sexuality, physical/mental attributes, religious beliefs and practices. Such verbal or
physical acts are damaging to self-esteem and will not be tolerated in an educational
' setting.The board encourages the superintendent and staff to develop programs which
enhance self-esteem,raise awareness and sensitivity and foster respect for individuals
and their unique qualities.
' The board recognizes that such hate crime statements,threats,physical assaults
or damage to property are inflammatory to those victimized by such acts and jeopardizes
the safety and well being of students and staff. The board authorizes the staff to
discipline students involved in such acts including suspension or recommendation for
expulsion.2

Ed Code 35291.5 requires that every public school site adopt discipline rules and procedures consistent
with governing board policies and state statutes at least every four years beginning on or before December
1,1987.After a school board adopts a new district policy containing discipline issues,school sites should
utilize the process described in this section to modify or establish a school site-discipline policy.Schools
' must solicit the participating views and advice of one representative selected by each of five(5)groups:
parents, teachers, school administration, school security(if any),and pupils in junior and senior high
schools. This code section describes the required participatory process for adopting school discipline
rules.

Purpose of Hate Violence Incident Report Form
"Hate violence"is any act or attempted act designed to cause physical injury,
emotional suffering, or property damage which is or appears to be motivated all or
in part,by race,religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation. The Board has
resolved to require all hate violence crimes or incidents to be reported using this
' form. The District will use this data to shape a program of interventions to pre-
vent recurrence and escalation of such incidents in the schools and neighborhoods
where patterns of hate crimes emerge. District and law enforcement will cooperate
' in designing appropriate interventions. We urge your cooperation in using this
form to stem acts of hate violence to make this District a safe place for all student
to learn.
' Filling Out the Form(The report is divided into ten sections.)
I. Date, time and location. -This refers to the incident itself. Be as spec
as to location as possible (e.g. SE corner of upper playground, in hallway by
classroom Y, on corner of Oak Park and Monte Cresta, etc.).
Completed by—This is the name and title of the person completing the form
(YOU). If possible, include the specific-phone line on which someone follow-
ing up can locate you.
' II. Perpetrator(s) - The matrix below the place on the form in which you en-
ter data regarding those who started or were the aggressors in the incident
has three lines. The intent is that you will check off in each set of boxes the
sex, ethnicity, grade and whether the individual was a non-site person (if
' this column is left blank, the assumption is that the individual was a stu-
dent) for the perpetrator(s). If there are more than three perpetrators, men-
tion should be made of as much of these details as possible in the narrative
description of the incident.
III. Victim(s) -Again, there are spaces in the matrix for you to check of sex,
' ethnicity, and so forth for the hate crime incident. If there are more than
three victims, summarize as much detail as possible in the narrative de-
scription.
IV. Type of bias - The check off here is intended to represent the best judge-
ment of the individual and/or the persons involved in reporting the incident
' as to the motivation behind the actions which led to this report. It may be
helpful to interview either the victims or the perpetrators with some sensi-
tivity in order to ascertain the true motivation. "Other" should be-used if
' one of the six categories do not describe the motivation, or if some other
qualification might be useful for anyone planning interventions.
V. Type of incident-The definition should be self-explanatory. Harassment
' is a pattern of the first two personal incidents repeated over time. "Other"
should be used to describe either personal or property damage not covered
by the categories.
26
VI. Narrative description-Be as specific as possible in order to give a clear
picture of the dynamics and scale of the incident to anyone trying to plan
interventions. Attach separate sheets if necessary.
' VII. Action taken-What steps have you taken in response?
' VIII. Help needed-What kinds of support do you believe might be useful in help-
ing you contain the hate crime pattern at your site?
' IS. Additional Comments - Indicate other relevant information here.
X. Other reports - Be specific about other types of report forms which may
' have been filed about this incident,if any.
