Complaint Process & Procedure

Individuals who have been subject to discrimination prohibited under Title IX may file a complaint with the District as well as the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).  If a crime is involved, such as a sexual assault or rape, individuals may also file a report with the local police department.  Individuals may pursue one or all of these avenues at the same time.  Below is a summary of each process.

District Complaint

Individuals may file a complaint as follows:

The complaint should be presented to the Title IX coordinator.  All complaints should be filed in writing and signed by the complainant.  If a complainant is unable to put a complaint in writing due to conditions such as disability or illiteracy, district staff shall assist him/her in the filing of the complaint.  (5 CCR 4600).  Individuals may file a complaint to the Uniform Complaint Procedure (UCP) as set forth in Sand Springs Schools district policy FB, FB-E2 and DAA. Please contact the Title IX Coordinator if you have questions.

 Time Requirement:

In order to file a complaint with the District, individuals must file the complaint as discussed above within six months of the discrimination occurring or awareness of the discrimination (5 CCR 4630(b).  If you have any questions about this time limit, or if you believe your complaint may be outside this time requirement but want to explore other options, please contact the Title IX Coordinator.
