|
The West Covina Unified School District (WCUSD) is committed to ensuring equal, fair, and meaningful access to employment and education services. The WCUSD shall be free from discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and/or bullying in any employment practice, education program, or educational activity on the basis and/or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics of age, ancestry, color, physical or mental disability, ethnicity, ethnic group identification, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, marital or parental status, medical condition, military or veteran status, national origin, immigration status, political affiliation, pregnancy and related conditions, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or any other basis prohibited by California state and federal nondiscrimination laws respectively. Not all bases of discrimination will apply to both education services and employment. The District does not discriminate in enrollment in or access to any of the activities and programs available and provides equal access to the Boys Scouts of America or other designated youth groups. Specifically, state law prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in enrollment, counseling, and the availability of physical education, athletic activities, and sports. Transgender students shall be permitted to participate in gender-segregated school programs and activities and to use facilities consistent with their gender identity. The District assures that lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation in District programs. Copies of WCUSD’s policies including Uniform Complaint Procedures, Sexual Harassment, Nondiscrimination, Title IX Rights and Protection are available on the WCUSD website. Questions, complaints, or requests for additional information regarding these laws may be forwarded to the District’s designated compliance coordinators.
