DISTRICT POLICY
Notice of Nondiscrimination
District is committed to the policy that no person shall be unlawfully subjected to discrimination in, excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of any educational program, extracurricular activity, or employment. District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, pregnancy, gender, gender expression or identity, national origin, religion, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, age, or genetic information in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups. This includes the prohibition of acts of antisemitism, including harassment and discrimination against Jews in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and antidiscrimination regulations provided by the United States Department of Education (USDE) and the United States Department of Justice.
Antisemitism is defined by the international Holocaust Remembrance Alliance as a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. Harassment of or discrimination against students or employees or resulting from instructional policies or programs on campus that are motivated by or include antisemitic intent, will be treated in the same manner as racially motivated discrin1ination. District will follow the repo1ting process established by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE)'s Title VI Coordinator.
