Background:
|
In 2014-15, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) conducted a biennial review of data and discovered a disproportionality of African American students receiving referrals, suspensions and other disciplinary actions. The Administration has been working with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to fulfill ten agreed upon action items to ensure the equity of discipline measures within the District and in compliance with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d (Title VI), and its implementing regulation, 34 C.F.R. Part 100, which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, or national origin by a recipient of Federal financial assistance.
In alignment with our ongoing work to improve disciplinary practices, supports for students and engaging staff, student, and community voice, an end of year report was submitted to The Office for Civil Rights on July 1, 2020. Attached you will find the official report as submitted, as well a presentation.
To date, the district has made significant progress relative to the ten items in the report. The following is a summary of the steps the district has taken cumulatively since the start of the resolution, as well as an outline of the research-based plan being implemented going forward.
