Equity Access

The Hendry County School District has an Educational Equity Plan to ensure procedures are in place to monitor equality of treatment within district activities and to report discrimination or harassment as required by Title II, Title VI, and Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964, including Title DC of the United States Education Amendments of 1972, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992, Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Amendment Act of 2008 (ADAAA), and the Florida Educational Equity Act of 1984.

The district actively supports a policy on non-discrimination in all matters related to the actions and interactions of personnel and students within the district, and interactions with the general public. The system strives to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to equal opportunity and treatment of all regardless of race, sex, national origin, genetic information, marital status, disability, age or religion.
