Unlawful Harassment of Students Conference Set for September 11-12, 2007

The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Dallas office, the U.S. Department of Education funded IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity, and the Education Service Centers (Region 10, Region 11, and Region 12) cordially invite you to participate in a conference entitled Unlawful Harassment of Students in Education Programs and Activities. The two-day conference will be held at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Dallas, Texas, on September 11-12, 2007.

Harassment, whether based on race, color, national origin, disability or sex, is a recurring issue that has the potential for excluding students from participating in or benefiting from the programs and activities operated by school districts. The purpose of the conference is to share information on harassment and its effect on the learning environment.

Our objective for participants is to learn more about what constitutes harassment, the different regulatory authorities that prohibit harassment, and to get ideas and information about how to develop preventative programs and respond effectively to incidents of harassment whenever it occurs. This conference is highly recommended for school board members, superintendents and other central office leaders, principals, school resource officers, Title IX and 504 coordinators, teachers and counselors.

The Education Service Centers are encouraging K-12 educators to attend this important conference. To this end, educators attending this two-day conference will receive 12.0 hours of Professional Development Training credits.
