D49 Notice of Nondiscrimination

Effective March 1, 2023 

School District 49 is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in education and employment.  District 49 will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of disability, need for special education services (whether actual or perceived), race, creed, color, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, transgender status, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, religion, ancestry, age, genetic information, or protected activity in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups. 

Any harassment or discrimination of students and/or staff, based on the aforementioned protected areas must be brought to the immediate attention of the school principal, a district administrator or the compliance coordinator.  

The lack of English language skills shall not be a barrier to admission or participation in any District program.  To that end, School District 49:

• Provides free aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as qualified sign language interpreters and written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, other formats)

• Provides free language services to people whose primary language is not English, such as qualified interpreters and information written in other languages.

If you believe that School District 49 has failed to provide these services or discriminated in another way, you may file a grievance with the compliance coordinator.
