The Equity and Civil Rights Office promotes equal access, academic inclusion, and full educational participation in our Washington schools among our state's diverse, underrepresented and underserved populations.

We are grounded in federal and state civil rights and non-discrimination laws and the belief that educational systems that address their own biases, include their communities, and adapt to the culture and diversity of their students will realize educational excellence.

Our Services

• Supporting educators, students, parents and community members by answering questions and assisting them in finding resolution related to non-discrimination and civil rights laws and policies.
• Monitoring school district compliance with state and federal non-discrimination and civil rights laws and policies.
