Title IX and Affirmative Action
It is the policy of Region 8 not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ancestry or national origin, age (for employment), genetic information (for employment), or disability, in its educational programs and its employment practices. There is a grievance procedure for processing complaints of discrimination.
School employees, fellow students, volunteers, visitors to the school, and other persons with whom students may interact in order to pursue or engage in education programs and activities, are required to refrain from such conduct.
