HCCS may not limit student admission based on ethnicity, national origin, race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, income level, proficiency in English language, whether a student has an individualized education program (IEP) or the terms of that IEP, or athletic ability except as authorized under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 338.125(3)(d). HCCS may limit admission to students within a given grade level.

HCCS prohibits discrimination and harassment in, but not limited to: employment, assignment and promotion of personnel; educational opportunities and services offered students; student assignment to the school and classes; student discipline; location and use of facilities; educational offerings and materials; and accommodating the public at public meetings.

HCCS prohibits retaliation and discrimination against an individual who has opposed any discrimination act or practice or because that person has filed a charge, testified, assisted or participated in an investigation, proceeding or hearing, and further prohibits anyone from coercing, intimidating, threatening or interfering with an individual for exercising the rights guaranteed under state and federal law.

The HCCS Board encourages staff to improve human relations within the school, to respect all individuals, and to establish channels through which school community members can communicate their concerns to HCCS administration and the HCCS Board.

School meeting locations are accessible to persons with disabilities.  A request for an interpreter for the hearing impaired, or for other accommodations for persons with disabilities, should be made at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting.
