It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, or designee, to develop an Affirmative Action Plan and regulations to be followed by management and supervisory personnel in all schools and departments of the district to carry out the provisions and intent of this policy.
The superintendent shall designate a staff member to serve as Affirmative Action/Title IX Compliance Officer. Further, the superintendent shall develop and implement a grievance procedure to be used by employees with regard to employment problems covered by state and federal equal employment laws and/or the district's Affirmative Action Plan.
