A complaint alleging retaliation or unlawful discrimination (such as discriminatory harassment, intimidation, or bullying) must be filed not later than six months from the date it occurred, or six months from the date 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.

Any student who feels that he/she has been subjected to unlawful discrimination is strongly encouraged to immediately contact the compliance officer, principal, or any other staff member. In addition, any student who observes any such incident is strongly encouraged to report the incident to the compliance officer or principal, whether or not the alleged victim files a complaint.

When any report of unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or bullying, is submitted to or received by the principal or compliance officer, he/she shall inform the student or parent/guardian of the right to file a formal complaint pursuant to the provisions in AR 1312.3 – Uniform Complaint Procedures. 

A Title IX complaint is filed through the “Uniform Complaint Procedures” which can be found on the District Complaints page.

Within 10 business days after the compliance officer receives the complaint, the compliance officer shall initiate an investigation.  Unless extended by written agreement with the complainant, within 60 calendar days of the district’s receipt of the complaint, the compliance officer shall prepare and send to the complainant a written report. Administrative Regulation 1312.3, Uniform Complaint Procedures, provides further details on the investigation process.
