• Title VI Information

    Title VI is a federal law that protects persons from discrimination based on their race, color or national origin in any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. Title VI ensures that a school district will provide the same opportunities for the above students to participate in programs and classes to the same extent afforded to others.
     
    Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that "No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race or ethnicity, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance" from the U.S. Department of Education.
     
     
    Complaint Process
    Students or parents/guardians should report their verbal or written Title VI complaint to the school administrator or Title IX Coordinator within six months from the date the alleged incident occurred or first obtained knowledge. Complainants have a right to a timely and informal resolution at the school site.
