Grievance Procedure under The Americans with Disabilities Act

This Grievance Procedure is established to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990("ADA"). It may be used by anyone who wishes to file a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, activities, programs, or benefits by the School District.

The complaint should be in writing and contain information about the alleged discrimination, such as the name, address, phone number of the complainant, and location, date, and description of the problem. Alternative means of filing complaints, such as personal interviews or a tape recording of the complaint, will be made available for persons with disabilities upon request.

The complaint should be submitted by the grievant and/or his/her designee as soon as possible, but no later than 60 calendar days after the alleged violation to:

Director of Human Resources
Title IX Coordinator
ADA Title II Coordinator/Section 504 Compliance Officer for Employees, Applicants for Employment, and Members of the Public
EEO Compliance Officer

or

Student ADA/Section 504 Compliance Officer
Executive Director of Student Support Services

Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the complaint, the Compliance Officer or his/her designee will meet with the complainant to discuss the complaint and the possible resolutions. Within 15 calendar days of the meeting, the Compliance Officer or his/her designee will respond in writing, and where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, such as large print, Braille, or audio tape. The response will explain the position of the School District and offer options for substantive resolution of the complaint.

If the response by the Compliance Officer or his/her designee does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the complainant and/or his/her designee may appeal the decision within 15 calendar days after receipt of the response to the Superintendent or his/her designee. Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the appeal, the Superintendent or his/her designee will meet with the complainant to discuss the complaint and possible resolutions. Within 15 calendar days after the meeting, the Superintendent or his/her designee will respond in writing, and, where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, with a final resolution of the complaint.

All written complaints received by the ADA Coordinator or his or her designee, appeals to the Superintendent or his/her designee, and responses from these two offices will be retained by the School District for at least three years.
