Background:
|
In 2014-15, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) conducted a biennial review of MPS’s disciplinary data and discovered that a disproportionality of African American students were receiving referrals, suspensions, and other disciplinary actions.
The Administration has been working with the OCR to fulfill ten agreed-upon action items to ensure the equity of discipline measures within the District and compliance with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d (Title VI), and its implementing regulation, 34 C.F.R. Part 100, which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, or national origin by a recipient of federal financial assistance.
In September 2020, the Administration provided a report regarding the submission of the District's end-of-year report to the OCR. At that time, the Board directed the Administration to report its progress on a monthly basis. The April 2022 and the May 2022 reports and presentations are attached.
