In the Workplace

In June 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that LGBTQIA+ workers are protected from discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Transitioning in the Workplace

It is the district’s goal to create an environment in all its school communities where transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals are protected from discrimination and harassment. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each CPS employee to ensure that employees who are transgender and gender-nonconforming have a safe and welcoming work environment. This includes ensuring that any incident of discrimination, harassment, or violence is given immediate attention, including investigating the incident and taking appropriate corrective action. Complaints alleging discrimination or harassment based on a person’s actual or perceived transgender status or gender nonconformity must be handled in accordance with the Comprehensive Non-Discrimination, Title IX, and Sexual Harassment Policy (12-0425-PO1).
