website you will be notified through your school.

tion in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational
program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title VII of the civil Rights act of 1964 (Federal)

“It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate
against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges
of employment because of such individual’s sex or,
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way
which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or
otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee because of such individual’s sex.”

It is the policy of the New Haven Board of Education not to discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national origin (in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964),
sex (in accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972) or handicap (in

ogy, life management, school to career opportunities, and health assistance.

for an employer, by himself or his agent, for an employment agency, by itself or its agent,
or for any labor organization, by itself or its agent to harass any employee, person seeking
employment or member on the basis of sex.”

The City of New Haven, the New Haven Board of Education, and our bus company

Pre-kindergarten, kindergarten or first grade children will NOT be let off the school
bus in the afternoon without a responsible adult at the stop to meet them (an adult must
meet then even if they get off with and older brother or sister). Any adult other than
the parent or guardian must be on record with the school. Please contact your
school principal for details concerning this. When the school bus arrives at the des-
ignated stop in the afternoon and an approved adult is not physically present to meet
the pre-kg, kg, or first grade child, the child will NOT be allowed off the bus and will
be returned to school.

• The first time this happens you will receive a written warning.

• The 2nd time your child will lose his/her bus riding privilege for 3 days (you
are responsible for getting your child to and from school those days).

• The 3rd time it happens, school bus transportation will be suspended for the
remainder of the school year and a referral will be made to the New Haven
Police and the DCF (Department of Children and Family Services).

All parents of pre-k, kindergarten or a first grader must sign the Transportation Ser-
vices Agreement (pink).
