Aspire Accountability​

---

Each Aspire school in California is governed by Aspire's Board of Directors, and each school strives for the same goal – educational excellence in preparing students for “College for Certain.” Aspire encourages all stakeholders – families, teachers, leaders, staff members, and community members – to participate in and take responsibility for the educational process. 

Title IX

Aspire Public Schools is committed to equal opportunity for all individuals in education.  Aspire Public Schools (APS) does not discriminate against any student on the basis of disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that is contained in the definition of hate crimes set forth in Section 422.55 of the Penal Code.

What Is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education, including K-12 schools. Title IX is a federal law that has been used to promote equity in education by ensuring that girls and women receive equal resources and treatment in the classroom and provides protections for students who are sexually harassed and discriminated against and/or bullied based on their gender.

To understand more about Title IX and your rights, please feel free to visit the Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights information on Title IX at https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/tix_dis.html

How Do I File a Title IX Complaint?

Aspire will follow our uniform complaint procedures when addressing complaints alleging unlawful discrimination or concerns related to protections under Title IX. 
​
Aspire recommends families work with their schools and regional offices when they have concerns and they may file a complaint form with the school site principal.  However, if an individual or family feels uncomfortable going to through the school site, they may file their complaint with the Title IX Coordinator for their region.  A link to our Uniform Complaint Process and Forms is below
