POLICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION
STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND CITIZENS OF THE TROY SCHOOL DISTRICT:
Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 provides that no person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance except as may be permitted by law.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides that no otherwise qualified
handicapped individual shall, solely by reason of his or her handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
It is the policy of Troy School District not to discriminate on the basis of sex or handicap in admission or access to, treatment or
employment in its programs and activities. Troy School District periodically reviews its educational and employment programs and
activities to assure compliance with Title IX and Section 504/ADA.
Troy School District has established a grievance procedure to provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints by
students, employees or members of the community, alleging discrimination on the basis of sex or handicap. The grievance procedure
is available through any school office or by contacting the Coordinator for Title IX and Section 504/ADA matters listed below. In
addition, a School District employee who is part of a bargaining unit may process a complaint through the grievance procedure
established in the collective bargaining agreement.
In accordance with Federal regulations, Troy School District has appointed John Pagel, Assistant Superintendent of Employee
Services, as Title IX and Section 504/ ADA Coordinator for employment and personnel matters. The District’s Director of Special
Education has been appointed as the Section 504/ADA Coordinator for handicapped and suspected handicapped students.
Any questions, suggestions or concerns should be directed to:
