NON-DISCRIMINATION It is the policy of the Board that any form of discrimination or harassment on the basis of color, race, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, alienage, ancestry, disability, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, or veteran status, or any other basis prohibited by state or federal law is prohibited, whether by students, Board employees or third parties subject to the control of the Board. The Board's prohibition of discrimination or harassment in its educational programs or activities expressly extends to academic, nonacademic and extracurricular activities, including athletics. It is also the policy of the Board to provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any discrimination or harassment on the basis of protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, alienage, ancestry, disability, pregnancy, or gender identity or expression or veteran status. [#5025] Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 504”) prohibits discrimination against persons with a disability in any program receiving Federal financial assistance. Similarly, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination against individuals with a disability by state and local governments. To be protected under Section 504 and the ADA, an individual must (1) have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) have a record of such an impairment; or (3) be regarded as having such an impairment. In order to fulfill its obligation under Section 504/ADA, South Windsor Public Schools recognizes its responsibility to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel, students, parents/guardians and members of the public who participate in school sponsored programs. In this regard, South Windsor Public Schools prohibits discrimination against any person with a disability in any of the services, programs or activities of the school system. Anyone who wishes to file a grievance/complaint with the district, or who has questions or concerns about this policy, should contact the Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Administration (who serves as the Section 504/ADA Coordinator for the South Windsor Public Schools) at (860) 291-1215.
