Nondiscrimination & Title IX

North Hills School District does not discriminate in its educational programs, services, activities, employment practices or administration of policies based on race, color, national origin, genetic information, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, ancestry or any other legally protected category, and is required by Title IX not to discriminate in such a manner.

The Board declares it to be the policy of this district to provide a safe, positive learning and working environment that is free from bullying, hazing, dating violence, sexual harassment and other discrimination, and retaliation. If you have experienced or have knowledge of any such actions, you are encouraged to contact the district’s Title IX Coordinator. They can support you by answering any questions about the report form, reviewing the report form for completion, and assisting with completion of the report, as necessary.

Announcement of this policy is in accordance with local, state and federal laws including the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
