Non-Discrimination Policy
-
Schuylkill Intermediate Unit 29 will not discriminate in its employment practices or its educational programs and activities on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, gender, sex, sexual orientation, ancestry, domicile, veterans status, national origin, marital status, pregnancy, handicap/disability or genetic information or any other legally protected characteristics in its admission procedures, educational programs and activities or employment practices, as required by the Pennsylvania School Code and related regulations, ADA, Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504 and will provide equal access to the Scouts of America and other designated youth groups. Students are encouraged to consider enrolling in career programs non-traditional to their gender. IU29 will take steps to assure that the lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in career and technical education programs and will make reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities. Furthermore, harassment in any form, including bullying, by any individual will not be tolerated. All policies, regulations, and practices of IU29 shall be guided by this statement. Inquiries regarding compliance with Title IX, Section 504, or Title VI should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator, 17 Maple Avenue, Mar Lin, PA 17951 or via telephone at (570) 544-4748, or via email at titleixcoordinator@stcenters.org.
Program Services shall be made accessible to eligible persons with disabilities through the most practical and economically feasible methods available. These methods include, but are not limited to, equipment redesign, the provision of aides, and the use of alternative service delivery locations. Structural modifications shall be considered only as a last resort among available methods.
Any individual/employee/client/patient/student (and/or their guardian) who believe they have been discriminated against, may file a complaint of discrimination with:
