Uniform Complaint Process

Complaints must be initiated no later than six (6) months from the date when the alleged discrimination occurred or when the individual first obtained knowledge of the facts of the alleged discrimination. Investigation of alleged discrimination complaints shall be conducted in a manner that protects confidentiality of individuals and the facts. The District prohibits retaliatory behavior against any complainant or any participant in the complaint process. The initiation of a complaint will not reflect negatively on the student who initiates the complaint nor will it affect the student’s academic standing, rights or privileges.
 
Most complaints can be settled at the school.
