Report discrimination and discriminatory harassment to any school staff member or the KSD Civil Rights Compliance Coordinator. You also have the right to file a complaint against the district alleging that the Kent School District has violated anti-discrimination laws.

If you believe that you or your student have experienced unlawful discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or sexual harassment at school, you have the right to file a complaint.

Before filing a complaint, you can report your concerns to your school’s principal or designated Kent School District (KSD) staff. This is often the fastest way to resolve your concerns.

In most cases, complaints must be filed within one year from the date of the incident or conduct that is the subject of the complaint.
