SPS Discrimination Complaint Form (English) – translations available below

Before filing a formal complaint, you may want to discuss your concerns with your child’s principal or Seattle Public Schools Ombudsperson. This is often the fastest way to resolve your concerns.

这也可能导致无法通过正式投诉程序获得解决方案. OSCR工作人员可以与您讨论这一步,包括解决方案,可能是什么样子的.

在大多数情况下,投诉必须在歧视事件发生之日起一年内提出. A complaint must be in writing, describe what happened, and state why you believe it is discrimination. 包括你希望地区采取什么行动来解决你的投诉也是有帮助的. 有些投诉可能会被认为是不完整的,直到我们收到已签署的确认书及授权书,准许我们披露你的身份及调查你的投诉. Complaints may be submitted by mail, email, or hand delivery to any District or school administrator, the Office of Student Civil Rights, or Human Resources.

When the school district receives your written complaint, 您将获得一份学区歧视投诉程序的副本. 学生民权或人力资源办公室将确保学区进行迅速彻底的调查. You may also agree to resolve your complaint without an investigation.

学区必须在收到您的投诉后30个日历日内以书面形式答复您, 除非你同意另定日期或有与投诉有关的特殊情况需要延长时限. If the complaint takes more than 30 calendar days, 您将收到书面通知,说明延期的原因和预计的答复日期.

当学区回复您的投诉时,回复必须包括:

  1. A summary of the results of the investigation;
  2. 该地区是否未能遵守与您的投诉有关的民权要求;
  3. Notice of your right to appeal, including where and to whom the appeal must be filed; and
  4. Any corrective measures determined necessary to correct any noncompliance.
