Annual Notice of Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Statement

The Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, and religion. This requirement extends to all of HIDOE’s programs and activities, including employment admissions as applicable. If you have difficulty understanding English, you have the right to receive language assistance at no cost to you.

The HIDOE will not tolerate retaliation for reporting discrimination, and will take steps to protect those who wish to report discrimination. Any inquiries concerning discrimination may be referred to the HIDOE's Civil Rights Compliance Office or to the Office for Civil Rights, United States Department of Education, within 180 days of the date of the alleged discriminatory conduct.

The HIDOE does not tolerate acts of harassment on the bases of race, sex, age, color, national origin, religion, or disability. Any student who believes that he or she has been subjected to harassment on the bases of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, and religion, is encouraged to report such harassment.

• Students and parents may report allegations of harassment by an employee to the HIDOE's Civil Rights Compliance Office at the address listed below, within 180 days of the date of the alleged harassment.

• Any student or parent who believes another student at their school is engaging in harassment should report allegations to the school's administrator.

HIDOE is committed to conducting a prompt investigation. Support, including counseling and educational resources will be available to students who are harassed, as well as to students found to have engaged in acts of harassment on the bases of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, and religion. Students found to have engaged in harassment may be disciplined, including if circumstances warrant, suspension or expulsion. Students, parents, and HIDOE staff should work together to prevent harassment on the bases of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, and religion.
