500.17 EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

500.17 EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY
 

It is the policy of District not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, creed, age (for employment), marital status (for programs), sexual orientation, gender identity, and socioeconomic status (for programs) in its educational programs. 

This concept of equal educational opportunity serves as a guide for the District, the Board, and the employees in making decisions related to District facilities, employment, and selection of educational materials, equipment, curriculum, and regulations affecting students.  In the delivery of the education program, students will treat the employees with respect and students will receive the same in return.  Employees have the best interests of the students in mind and may assist  students in school-related or personal matters if  the employees are able to do so.  Students should feel free to discuss problems, whether school-related or personal, with the guidance counselor or other employees.

There is a grievance procedure for processing complaints of discrimination. If you have questions or a grievance/complaint related to sex discrimination pursuant to Title IX, please contact Cindy Menendez, Title IX Coordinator, 103 Central Street, Ste 300, Glenwood, IA 51534, (712) 527-9034, gcsdtitleixcoor@glenwoodschools.org.  If you have questions or a grievance/complaint related to any other type of discrimination or harassment, please contact Cindy Menendez, Equity Coordinator, 103 Central Street, Ste 300, Glenwood, IA 51534, (712) 527-9034, gcsdequitycoordinator@glenwoodschools.org.

The District shall provide equal opportunity to all students for quality education in accordance with federal and state laws, rules, and regulations.
