TITLE IX/NON-DISCRIMINATION
The Board of Education of the Bethalto Community Unit School District No. 8 has, and will maintain, a policy regarding equal employment, equal educational and extracurricular opportunities and non-discrimination, regardless of person’s race; color; gender; sexual orientation; gender identity or expression; ancestry; age; religion; physical or mental disability; order of protection status; actual or potential marital or parental status, including pregnancy; homeless status or any other legally protected category. This policy includes the prohibition against harassment of any kind, including but not limited to sexual harassment, or retaliation against any individual for reporting or participating in the investigation of a discrimination or harassment complaint. The District, additionally, will not knowingly enter into agreements with any entity or any individual that discriminates against students on the basis of any protected status.
Complaints received generally will be investigated and resolved in accordance with the District’s Uniform Grievance Procedure Policy 2110, or, when the accused is a student, the District’s student discipline policies. However, complaints of bullying will be addressed under the District’s Prohibition Against Bullying Policy 6046 and complaints related to students experiencing homelessness will be addressed consistent with the procedure established by the State in the Education for Homeless Children Act, 105 ILCS 45/1-25.
A student, parent, employee or community member should notify the District’s Coordinator for Nondiscrimination of good faith beliefs that his or her right to be free from discrimination or harassment based on a legally protected category has been violated under State or federal law. A student, parent, employee or community member should notify the District’s Coordinator for Nondiscrimination (above) or a Complaint Manager (below) for good faith beliefs that an individual has been subjected to sexual harassment in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
For further information on notice of non-discrimination, visit this website for the address and phone number of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights that serves your area, or call 1-800-421-3481.
