Civil Rights & Harrassment
It is the policy of the Brockton Public Schools to promote and maintain an educational environment that is free from harassment. Harassment is against the law and will not be tolerated in the Brockton Public Schools. Harassment is defined as repeated unwanted or unwelcome verbalisms or behaviors with overtones related to a person's race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.
The Brockton School Committee has designated Dr. James LaBillois Assistant Superintendent for Student Support Services, as the school system's equity officer for students, vested with the authority and responsibility of processing all complaints of harassment and discrimination.
Any student who feels that he or she has been harassed or discriminated against because of his or her race, color, sex, religion or national origin should contact Dr. James LaBillois, whose office is located in the Crosby Administration Building at 43 Crescent Street, Brockton, MA 02301-4311, (508) 894-4341.
If the student prefers, he or she may file the complaint with any teacher or counselor, who will then bring the complaint to the attention of the Equity Officer.
If parents are not satisfied with the results of the investigation and the action taken, a formal complaint may be filed with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, 33 Arch Street, Suite 900, Boston, MA 02110-1491, (617) 289-0111.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. James LaBillois has been designated as the district's Equity, Civil Rights and Harassment, and Sexual Harassment Officer.
