The Leicester Public Schools (“District”) is committed to maintaining school environments free of discrimination based on sex.
Sex discrimination, which includes sex-based harassment, in any form or for any reason is prohibited. This includes sex discrimination by administrators, personnel, students, vendors, and other individuals in school or at school-related events. Except as provided for in Title IX, no person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any academic, extracurricular, research, occupational training, or other education program or activity operated by the District.
The District does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities, as required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, including in admissions and employment. Retaliation against any individual who has brought sex discrimination, which includes sex-based harassment, to the attention of school officials, or against an individual who has participated, or refused to participate, in the investigation thereof, is unlawful and will not be tolerated by the District.
The District has adopted grievance procedures that provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints made by students, employees, or other individuals who are participating or attempting to participate in its education program or activity, or by the Title IX Coordinator(s), alleging any action that would be prohibited by Title IX or the Title IX regulations.
