<p>After getting through the school districts office with very minimal movement and response, who should I go to next with a discrimination complaint that involved my child and the school? </p>

<p>I was told that I have two options; the DOE Civil Rights Compliance Office at the STATE level or the DOE Office of Civil Rights at the FEDERAL level. Any pros and cons of one or the other?</p>

<p>When I contacted the office at the state level, they told me that because it involved a student, the complaint should go through them (the states office). Advice?</p>

<p>Is your child on a 504? Have you contacted your state’s Department of Education office?</p>

<p>Have you met with all administrators regarding the discrimination?</p>

3

<p>Can you give more details on the situation?</p>

<p>I doubt a civil rights complaint needs to go through state. I would recommend you post this question on [Learning</a> Disabilities (LDs), ADHD and Education Support, The<em>SAFE</em>Site - Home](<a href=“http://millermom.proboards.com/index.cgi#general]Learning”>http://millermom.proboards.com/index.cgi#general).</p>
