How do I file a complaint about sex discrimination?

A student, parent, guardian, employee, individual, or organization may file a written complaint under Title IX, alleging discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and/or bullying on the basis of a protected characteristic under the District’s Uniform Complaint Procedures, Board Policy and Administrative Regulation No. 1312.3 by sending a complaint to:

Contact the District’s Title IX Coordinator:

Susan Andreas-Bervel Superintendent 18050 East Avenue O Palmdale, California 93591

Telephone: (661) 264-1111 Email: sbervel@wilsona.k12.ca.us

The Uniform Complaint Procedures are available at each school office and the District Office. If you need assistance putting your complaint in writing, please contact the school principal or Marguerite Johnson, the District’s Title IX Coordinator. You may file a complaint anonymously, but the District’s ability to investigate and respond may be limited by a lack of information.

You may also file a discrimination complaint with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights. For more information, visit http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/complaintintro.html.
