Title IX Complaints - Sex Discrimination

The District’s Uniform Complaint Procedures (“UCP”) will be used to address most complaints alleging unlawful discrimination (such as discriminatory harassment, intimidation or bullying), including sex discrimination.  The District’s UCP are set forth in Board Policy 1312.3 and Administrative Regulation 1312.3, Uniform Complaint Procedure.

The District’s UCP Complaint Form is available HERE.  Complaints may be filed with the Title IX Coordinator in person, by mail, or by email.  If someone is unable to put their complaint in writing due to conditions such as disability or illiteracy, District staff will assist them in filing a complaint.  

CONFIDENTIAL COMPLAINTS

In addition, the District accepts anonymous reports through our Title IX Confidential Complaint Form. 

This information will be received, confidentially, by the District’s Title IX Coordinators, Wes Cedros, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, and Kelly Lara, Sr. Director of Student Services. They are the employees responsible for handling reports or complaints regarding unlawful discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Once the District Title IX Coordinators receive your confidential report, they will start an investigation and contact you within 10 days, if you have requested to be contacted and if you have provided your contact information in the form linked above. If you have chosen not to provide your identity or contact information, the Title IX Coordinators will review the information you submitted and determine the available next steps in order to address the matter. Please note that the ability of the District to respond to reports submitted anonymously may be limited.

Title IX Confidential Complaint Form. collects information on incidences of sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating/interpersonal relationship violence, or stalking. Your submission will be stored in a password protected system only accessible by the District Title IX Coordinators and other District personnel approved by the District Title IX Coordinators for any subsequent investigation.

UCP complaints alleging unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation or bullying, must be filed no later than six (6) months from the date when the alleged unlawful discrimination occurred, or six (6) months from the date when the complainant first obtained knowledge of the facts of the alleged unlawful discrimination. The time for filing may be extended for up to 90 days by the Superintendent or designee for good cause upon written request by the complainant setting forth the reasons for the extension.

Complaints alleging unlawful sex discrimination will be investigated consistent with the investigation procedures set forth in AR 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures.
