Equal Education, Nondiscrimination, and Sex Equity
Equal educational opportunities shall be available for all students without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, language barrier, religious beliefs, physical and mental handicap or disability, economic or social conditions, or actual or potential marital or parental status or status as a homeless child.
No student shall, on the basis of sex, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services, or benefits or be limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage, or denied equal access to educational and extracurricular programs and activities.
Inquiries regarding discrimination should be directed to the Charter School Title IX or Nondiscrimination Coordinator. An individual with a complaint alleging a violation of this policy shall follow the Uniform Grievance Procedure.
In compliance with federal regulations, the Charter School will notify annually all students, parents, staff, community members, and, if applicable, unions or professional organizations the Charter School holds a collective bargaining agreement with of this policy and the designated coordinator to receive inquiries. Notification should include the name and location of the coordinator, as well as a statement that the Charter School will provide equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups. The notification will be provided in all handbooks.
The Charter School will not tolerate hostile or abusive treatment, derogatory remarks, or acts of violence because of disability against students, staff, or volunteers with disabilities. The School considers this behavior to constitute discrimination on the basis of disability in violation of State and federal law.
