The Office of Child Welfare and Attendance oversees a wide array of important functions for the school district. These include oversight to ensure that civil rights are protected and that the district’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy is properly implemented. Information on these two areas is contained on this webpage.

For more information on any of these areas, you may confidentially contact Emily Rockwell at 921-6100, ext. 747.

Civil Rights

No student will be denied the opportunity to attend class or participate in extra-curricular activities because of his/her race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability or natural origin. No student who has AIDS, who is pregnant or who is married can be excluded from attending courses or participating in extra-curricular activities.

Students who believe that, in the enforcement of discipline codes, their civil rights have been breached, that they have been discriminated against because of unjustifiable bias (e.g. racial, ethnic, religious or sexual discrimination), that they have been subject to racial, physical or sexual harassment, or that they have been physically or sexually abused may file a grievance with the Superintendent of School or her designee.
