   Equity Education (Separate Website)
The equity education program is designed to ensure all students have equal opportunities in education regardless of their race, national origin, gender or special needs. Equity education staff provide technical assistance to district officials to help them better understand and implement state and federal equity laws, and monitor their activities for compliance with those laws.

   How to File a Discrimination Complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (Separate Website)
Anyone who believes that an educational institution that receives Federal financial assistance has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age, or who believes that a public elementary or secondary school, or State or local education agency has violated the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act, may file a complaint. The person or organization filing the complaint need not be a victim of the alleged discrimination, but may complain on behalf of another person or group.
