Notice of Equal Opportunity

The Henry County Board of Education maintains a policy of equal educational, athletic, and employment opportunities. The Henry County Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, veteran status, genetic information, or age in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Scouts BSA and other designated youth groups. The Henry County Board of Education prohibits retaliation against individuals who file complaints or those who assist in the investigations of complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, veteran status, genetic information, or age. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, any form of intimidation, reprisal, or harassment. Appropriate disciplinary actions shall be imposed for verified acts of retaliation, including, but not limited to a report to the Professional Standards Commission for certified staff members. The Henry County Board of Education believes complaints are best resolved when handled as close to their origin as possible. If students and/or parents have concerns, they should bring concerns, in writing, to the attention of the principal.
