Annual Notification and Nondiscrimination Forms

PA1. Annual Public Notification

Prior to the beginning of each school year the local education agency (LEA) must advise students, parents, employees, applicants, and the general public that all opportunities in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs will be offered without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. This public notice provides assurance that limited English speaking skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation in CTE programs, and the LEA designates a person or persons to coordinate CTE activities under Title IX and Section 504. Announcement of this policy of nondiscrimination may be made in local newspapers, publications, and/or media that reach the general public, program beneficiaries, minorities, women, and the disabled. In addition, if the LEA’s service area contains a community of national-origin minority persons with limited English language skills, the CTE notice is made available in that community’s primary language.

PA3. Continuous Nondiscrimination Statement

An LEA must take continuous steps to notify participants, beneficiaries, applicants, parents, employees (including those with impaired vision or hearing), other interested parties, and unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with the LEA that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. A statement of nondiscrimination shall be included on publications and other materials that are distributed to or accessible by students, parents, applicants, beneficiaries, employees, unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with the LEA, and other interested parties
