Equity and Civil Rights ensures that each student has equal access to public education without discrimination.
Washington state law prohibits discrimination in public schools on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, the use of a trained dog guide or service animal, age, and honorably discharged veteran or military status.
Each school district in Washington has designated coordinators who are responsible for responding to questions and concerns about possible discrimination, including a civil rights compliance coordinator, a Title IX officer, and a Section 504 coordinator. A discussion with these coordinators is often the best first step you can take to address a concern about possible discrimination. Share what happened and let the coordinator know what they can do to help resolve the problem.
