Summary: Staff has prepared revisions to the following Board Policy as required by newly approved legislation and as a recommended corrective action by the California Department of education Verification Review. BP 5145.3 is being updated to reflect the provisions of Title VI (42 USC 2000 d-2000 e-17) and Title IX (20 USC1681-1688) which prohibit discrimination based on race color, national origin, or sex, and Education Code 220 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity,religion, color or sexual orientation. Education Code 260 gives the Governing Board primary responsibility for ensuring that district programs and activities are free from discrimination based on age or any of these characteristics.
