PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE / Welcome to Marion Technical College! As the assistant principal of Marion Technical College, I would like to thank you for choosing this institution of higher learning as your launch pad into a new career. Whether you are pursuing a high school diploma, or career and technical training, we are proud to serve you.

One of the aspects of Marion Technical College that makes me most proud is our dedication to the success of our students. From high school students and adults enrolled in career certificate programs, to adults working towards earning their high school diploma, serving our students is our number one priority. Our students deserve and receive outstanding training/education from our faculty and staff. As a faculty, we are guided by three principles that we refer to as “The Big 3”: 1. Do What Is Right 2. Do Your Best 3. Always Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated!!

These principles are posted around campus, and play an important role in how we operate as an institution.

Our goal is to be the best technical college for our local community, and serve the needs of our citizens and business community.

The relationships we build with local employers allows our staff to develop programs that meet local industry

demands, and prepare for the careers new industries will bring to our local area. In response to local employer needs, I am excited to announce Marion Technical College is offering three new programs for the 2017-2018 school year. Those programs are Barbering, Database Application Development and Programming, and Public Safety Communication (Dispatcher). All three programs offer licensing/certifications that will open employment doors for program graduates.

We demonstrate excellent service to our Adult Education students in pursuit of a high school diploma or those learning English as a second language. We know that a high school diploma is the first step to success in the workplace, but we extend that experience by introducing students to career options available at Marion Technical College and other local post-secondary education institutions. We want all of our students to

become productive, successful members of Marion County.

Thank you for choosing Marion Technical College as your educational institution. Your success is our success. I hope you have a fantastic year.

Sincerely,

Scott Carpenter, Assistant Principal MarionTC.edu | 9

GENERAL I N F O R M AT I O N

HISTORY & DEVELOPMENT / Marion Technical College (MTC) is an educational institution which began in Marion County in 1973 as Community Education. In 1974, Mr. Samuel Lauff, Jr. and the Marion County School Board established the Adult and Community Education Center, presenting an opportunity for persons in Marion County to continue their education, in order to improve themselves and their chances of earning a living. The first location of the Center was at the Roberts Building and served approximately 2,000 students. Today, the main campus is located near the heart of downtown Ocala at the site once occupied by the Manhattan Shirt Factory, at 1014 Southwest 7th Road. The building has been completely renovated and modernized, and now houses the varied programs and services offered for the citizens of Marion County. Additional MTC

learning sites include the Florida State Fire College, Marion County Jail, Phoenix House, and other locations throughout Marion County. Annually, MTC serves between 2,000 and 3,000 students.

Marion Technical College (MTC) is a public, co-educational, and equal opportunity facility legally authorized by the School Board of Marion County and the Florida State Department of Education to provide postsecondary and adult education.

PHILOSOPHY / Learning is a life-long process and is the basic philosophy of a community education provider. We believe that this premise must underlie the mission of a community education program. This philosophy must reflect a commitment to provide a wide variety of educational opportunities for the learner throughout his or her lifetime. Marion Technical College must assist the student in obtaining knowledge and skills necessary to successfully function in a world in which change and new approaches to both new and old problems arise almost daily. The philosophy of community education reflects the belief that education must be viewed as a “People Business.” In all that we do, and in all that we plan, the need to keep Marion Technical College “People Oriented” is above all other considerations.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES / Marion Technical College seeks to serve a broad and diverse range of students, based on both individual and employer needs.

It seeks to provide students with appropriate successes tailored to meet their

individual goals while ensuring that all students and employers receive consistently high-quality services, programs, training, and instruction.

TESTING / (ALL TESTING QUESTIONS SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.) Individuals enrolled in a post-secondary career and technical program must complete a basic skills test/assessment, which has been approved by the State Department of Education, within the first six weeks of admission into a career and technical program. The assessment given is called the TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education, Forms 9 & 10) and measures basic skills in reading, mathematics, and language usage. Career and Technical programs with completion levels above 9th grade equivalency basic skills requirements will be assessed using the A level TABE, or other industryapproved assessment*. Those programs with 9th grade or below equivalency exit score requirements may use either the “A” or “D” level TABE assessment. (Exceptions: Students who possess an Associate Degree or higher college

degree, have passed the CLAST test, or have achieved specific scores on the ACT, SAT, MAPS, PERT, ASSET, GED, or FCELPT tests may not have to take the TABE Test.) The TABE assessment is offered online through a MTC computer lab. Students graduating from a public high school in the state of Florida with a standard high school diploma in the class of 2007 or later may also be exempt from TABE requirements. To schedule a time to take the TABE assessment, please contact the Student Services office.

All state-approved tests for the basic skills requirement are valid for a maximum of two years as mandated in state guidelines. Therefore, any valid test scores must be within two years of the program’s start date, and there must be continuous enrollment in the program for the test scores to remain valid. The two-year validation window begins at the re-enrollment dates and may require the student to re-test if the original test is outside of date.

In accordance with Rule 6A-10.040, FAC, career and technical programs of 450 hours or greater in length have a grade -level exit requirement for the areas of mathematics, language usage, and reading. The programs are a part of the Statewide Course Numbering System to ensure the content is transferable statewide among institutions. Students who have mastered competencies are, therefore, not required to repeat those competencies. If a student does not meet the basic skills level required for completion of the program, remediation is provided through the Adult Education Program, online tutorial program, or TABE workbooks.

EVALUATING VALIDITY OF HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS / To identify a standard set of criteria that validates or invalidates a high school completion as legitimate in order to estab lish a best practices model relative to general college/career and technical admission as well as in the context of 34 CFR 668.16 (p), Standards of administrative capability, requiring post-secondary institutions to develop and follow procedures to evaluate the validity of a student’s high school completion if the institution or the Secretary has reason to believe that the high school diploma is no t valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education.

This procedure explains the voluntarily-adopted role in developing best practices to validate the integrity of a student’s reported high school completion. The Florida College Registrars and Admission Officers (FCRAO) have established a process for validati ng high schools. They have developed and maintained a list of High School Acceptable Transcripts (HAT) and High School Invalid Transcripts (HIT). The list is hosted by Palm Beach State College and may be located at the following link: http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/admissions/fcrao/enrollment_and_data.htm

CRITERIA FOR VALIDATING HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION / MTC endorses the following list to be the most trustworthy criteria by which a high school credential is judged as valid. Level I lists criteria for determining that the credential is valid. If Level I is not met, then Level II consists of the elements by which the high school may be evaluated.

LEVEL I All public high schools within the U.S. or U.S. territories Previously validated private high schools by FCRAO’s list Regionally accredited high schools High Schools accredited through agencies approved by Council for Higher Education Accreditation

(CHEA), such as the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) All U.S., U.S. territory, and military-issued GEDs Foreign high school transcripts evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) affiliate as equivalent to a standard high school diploma International Baccalaureate diplomas LEVEL II Determine whether or not credentialed teachers delivered education Determine if education is delivered over specified periods of time Determine if curriculum is consistent with a valid secondary education Determine if website is consistent with findings Other information/criteria as determined by the member institution if member institution has reason to believe the high school diploma is not valid.

34 | MarionTC.edu

CRITERIA FOR VALIDATING HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION (CONTINUED) Transcripts for which validation cannot be made through Level I or Level II assessment or for which the decision i s challenged by the student should be referred to the local institution’s appeals process. If the institutional appeals process determines that the transcript has not met the criteria for an acceptable high school credential, the student will be directe d to obtain a state issued GED. All institutional determinations are final.

*MTC acknowledges that this procedure does not apply to home education students who apply for admission as having graduated from a home education program and present a valid home school affidavit according to Florida Statutes 1007.263.

(2a).

EVALUATING FOREIGN HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS / MTC endorses the policy used by fame and published by the office of postsecondary education in regards to the evaluation of foreign high school diplomas.

A high school diploma from a foreign country is recognized as a valid diploma: If the foreign secondary school credentials are evidence of completing the equivalent of a secondary education in the United States.

If the foreign secondary school credentials cannot be determined, students may be asked to use a foreign diploma evaluation service. The documentation accepted to verify high school completion status for an applicant who indicates that he or she cannot obtain documentation of his or her completion of a secondary school education in a foreign country: Applicants may document their high school completion status by obtaining a copy of “secondary school leaving certificate” (or similar document) from the ministry of education in the country where they completed secondary school.

In rare cases where it is impossible for a student to obtain documentation of their completion of a secondary school education in a foreign country, applicants must submit: Proof of their attempt to obtain documentation of their completion of a secondary school education in a foreign country, ie, a copy of an e-mail or letter, including proof of mailing; And A signed and dated statement that indicates that the applicant completed his or her secondary school education in a foreign country, the name and address of the foreign high school where the application completed the secondary school education and the date when the foreign high school diploma was awarded.

FINANCIAL AID

FINANCIAL AID OVERVIEW / Financial aid funding at Marion Technical College (MTC) consists of grants, scholarships and other various financial assistance sources. It is available to eligible students to help them meet educational expenses. At this time, MTC does not participate in any State or Federal Loan Programs. Financial aid is calculated by determining the Cost of Attendance (COA) for a specific period of time or academic year and determining the unmet need of a student. Marion Technical College will use a 900 hour/26 week academic year for most programs.

A complete list of academic year information by program is available in the Financial Aid Office. The Federal Pell grant payment and disbursement schedules provided by the U.S. Department of Education are used to determine annual award amounts. The COA, Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and enrollment status of the student are used in these calculations. Marion Technical College uses a Third Party Servicer-FAME to assist with these calculations. A complete Policies and Procedures manual is available for viewing in the Financial Aid Office.

VERIFICATION POLICY 2017-2018 / Marion Technical College has developed the following policy for the verification of information provided by applicants for Fe deral Title IV financial aid. The following policy and has been developed using the guidelines presented in the FSA handbook chapte r 4 of the Application and Verification Guide (AVG), and per the 34 CFR 668.56 federal regulations.

This policy details: • The time period in which the student must submit verification documentation, • The consequences for not submitting verification paperwork in time, • The method the school will use to notify the student if their EFC and Title IV amounts change, • The procedure for the school or student to follow when to correct FAFSA data, • The procedure the school will follow to refer student to the office of Inspector General as defined in chapter 5 of the OIG. The financial aid office will verify those students selected for verification by the Central Processing System (CPS). The fin ancial aid office also has the authority to select additional students for verification, if there is conflicting information in their re cord or belief that the information provided is inaccurate. In both cases, providing documentation will be required. All students selected for verification are required to complete and submit the corresponding verification worksheet(s) to the financial aid office.

Students selected for verification will be notified of the process by the financial aid office either in person, by phone, or by email, within 30 days of acceptance to a postsecondary vocational program (PSAV). The verification flag indicates which 2017-2018 verification tracking group is selected and which documents are needed.

Students eligible to receive a Pell Grant will have until 120 days after their last date of enrollment or by the September 23 , 2017 deadline published in the Federal Register each year whichever is earlier, to complete verification. However, in the interim, the student must have made arrangements with the school for payment of all tuition and fees due or risk termination from the scho ol.

Title IV funding will not be disbursed to a student unless verification has been completed. After the passage of the aforementioned period, all financial aid that may have been due is forfeited.

If the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and/or award amount changes due to corrections made during the verification process , the student will be notified by phone, email, or in person as to the result and the impact if any, it will have on the studen t’s overall financial aid. Any non-dollar item (example: number in household size, number in college, address or phone number) or a single dollar item of $25.00 or more will require correction of the FAFSA data.

In reference to making corrections on the FAFSA the following information applies. Generally speaking, you cannot update information that was correct as of the date the application was signed because the FAFSA is considered to be a snapshot of yo u/ your family financial situation on that date. After the FAFSA is signed, only certain items can be updated under the following conditions. All applicants whose dependency status changes must update that status and the associated FAFSA information throughout the award year except when the update is caused by change in student’s marital status. All applicants selected for verification of household size, or number in college must be updated as of the verification date unless the update is due to change in student’s marital status. The marital status used at the time the FAFSA was signed is considered the status used fo r the entire award year. However the marital status of a dependent student or an independent student selected for verification at t he time the FAFSA was signed may be considered for update if school deemed necessary on a case by case basis only prior to Title IV funding being disbursed.

MarionTC.edu | 41

If a student receives an overpayment based on inaccurate or conflicting information on any application and refuses to correct the information or repay the Federal funds after being counseled by the institution, the school will refer the case to ED for res olution.

Unless required by ED, no Federal financial aid will be disbursed to the student.

If there is suspicion that a student has misreported information or altered documentation to fraudulently obtain federal aid, the financial aid officer will submit a complaint to the OIG national hotline online at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/ hotline.html or call the OIG at 1-800-647-8733.

The following information describes the FAFSA application items to be verified for dependent and independent students that wi ll be required depending upon which verification flag (V1, V4, or V5) selected, as indicated on the student’s output document. A ny number of the following items may be required.

Adjusted gross income (AGI) U.S. income tax paid Education tax credits Untaxed IRA distributions Untaxed pensions IRA deductions and payments Tax-exempt interest income Income earned from work Number of household members Number in college High school completion status Identity/statement of educational purpose

Verification tracking groups for flags (V1, V4, or V5): The following information differentiates students as they relate to tax filing status within the various tracking groups and the corresponding documentation necessary

POLICY FOR SECONDARY CONFIRMATION / Per federal regulations, Marion Technical College (MTC) has a policy for requesting proof and securing confirmation of the immigrant status of applicants for Title IV HEA student financial assistance who claim to meet the eligibility requirements.

When a student’s output document (SAR/ISIR) does not confirm a student’s status as an eligible non-citizen, the student must provide MTC with appropriate documentation showing that he/she is a permanent resident or other eligible noncitizen. MTC will initiate a Secondary Confirmation of this documentation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure validity.

PROCEDURE FOR SECONDARY CONFIRMATION / • Student notified by the financial aid office that a confirmation process is necessary to verify their citizenship status.

• The student must provide unexpired documentation showing he/she is an eligible non-citizen.

• If the financial aid office determines that the documentation is legitimate, the G-845 document is forwarded to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

• The G-845 will be submitted within 30 days from the date MTC receives the results of the primary confirmation. If the student does not comply with the supporting documentation within this deadline FSA funds may not be awarded.

• The student is informed that no determination of the student’s eligibility will be made until an opportunity to submit immigration status documents is provided.

• The G-845 is submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for final determination.

A partial list of documentation that may be used as evidence is on the MTC website, MarionTC.edu.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS / According to the Department of Education, “Title IV funds are awarded to students based on the assumption that they will atte nd school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded.”

Effective July 1, 2011, refunds will be calculated and any unused portion of the Pell Grant Award will be returned to the stu dent and/ or to the Title IV Office. The student’s unearned portion will be determined as follows per F.S. 668.22: a. Determine the hours scheduled to be completed at the time of withdrawal. b. Divide scheduled hours by the total clock hours in the payment period. c. If the percentage is greater than 60%, the student is entitled to 100% of the aid disbursed or aid that could have been disbursed. d. If the percentage of scheduled hours is 60% or less, that percentage will then be compared to the aid disbursed or aid that could have been disbursed to the student. If the aid earned is greater than the aid disbursed, the student can receive a post withdrawal disbursement minus outstanding balances on his/her account.

44 | MarionTC.edu

e. Students must return unearned aid within 45 days or make arrangements to pay the aid to the school or to the Department of Education. f. The school will return unearned institutional charges to the Department of Education After institutional costs, the amount the school must return, and the amount the student must return are all calculated; the remaining portion of the award amount is then returned to the student. g. If satisfactory arrangements to repay funds due are not made, the student will be reported to the National Student Loan Data System; and all aid will be immediately terminated.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) 2017-2018/ The Marion Technical College Satisfactory Academic Progress policy (SAP) is used to ensure that students are moving toward successfully completing the program of study for which they are receiving Title IV aid in a timely manner. The SAP policy is comprised of qualitative and quantitative measurements that must both be met to comply as disclosed in regulation 668.34. A full description of this regulation is available in the financial aid policy & procedure manual. The following satisfactory academ ic progress policy below is pursuant to regulation 668.34 and will affect all students as of 07/01/2017.

The qualitative measure relates to the grade average that a student must maintain. A student must maintain a “C” (70%) averag e or higher as designated by the individual program grading scale in which they are enrolled. The quantitative measure applies to attendance and completing the program of study on pace within a maximum timeframe considering both scheduled hours and weeks. The student’s attendance and pace will be measured at the end of each disbursement payment period. The maximum time frame to complete a program will be within 110% of the designated program length. A student must attend and complete at least 90% of the program scheduled hours and weeks. Student absences within the 10% allowed timeframe per the Institutions attendance policy will not be required to be made up. The student’s cumulative clock hours over a calendar year will be evalu ated.

A chart that depicts each program’s maximum timeframe as well as the checkpoints by disbursement payment periods is printed on the reverse side of this SAP policy.

A student’s transfer credits will be evaluated and certified by the program manager/instructor, using the MTC transfer of cre dit 50 | MarionTC.edu

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) 2017-2018 (continued)/ form and required transcripts or other acceptable documentation. Any accepted transfer hours will be considered as completed hours in the maximum time frame calculation.

The procedure for checking SAP will be as follows: For programs less than one academic year, SAP will be evaluated by the financial aid office at the point when the student successfully completes the scheduled clock hours for a disbursement payment period. The financial aid office will review the student’s financial aid file for any corrective actions issued and view the student academic report in MTC student informatio n system (FOCUS) indicating the student’s grade, attendance and progression/pace in the program. If any of the stated requirements fall below the minimum standards, the student will automatically be placed on a “warning status” until the end o f the next disbursement payment period; however, will continue to receive Title IV aid. Failure to achieve satisfactory academ ic progress by the end of the warning payment period will result in termination of Title IV aid. At this point in time, the stud ent will be classified as “self- pay” and no additional Title IV aid will be offered. A probation period is not allowed.

For programs greater than one academic year, SAP will be evaluated by the financial aid office at the point where a student successfully completes the scheduled clock hours for a disbursement payment period. The financial aid office will review the student’s financial aid file for any corrective actions issued and view the student academic report in MTC student informatio n system (FOCUS) indicating the student’s grade, attendance and progression/pace in the program. If any of the stated requirements fall below the minimum standards, the student will automatically be placed on a “warning status” until the end o f the next disbursement payment period; however, will continue to receive Title IV aid. Failure to achieve satisfactory academ ic progress by the end of the warning payment period will result in termination of Title IV aid. The student could remain in sch ool as a self-pay student for the next payment period. Reinstatement of Title IV aid may occur after a successful SAP evaluation at the end of the self-pay payment period.

PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT / Professional Judgment (HEA Sec. 479A (a)) may be granted by the financial aid administrator to address a student’s financial and family circumstances that may have changed from the base year information originally reported on the FAFSA. Professional judgment will only be used on a case-by-case basis to address special circumstances, which are conditions that differentiate an individual student from a class of students. A Professional Judgment decision may not be appealed. See the financial aid administrator for application procedures.

Withdrawal for any of the above reasons shall not be subject to the student grievance procedure.

56 | MarionTC.edu

STUDENT WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE / A student’s withdrawal from a course or program may be due to other reasons than those stated in the Unacceptable Actions section of this catalog. A student may voluntarily withdraw from a course or program. In this scenario, to ensure the integri ty of a student’s academic records (transcripts), students must officially withdraw from courses or programs. The responsibility for initiating withdrawal rests solely with the student. The student should inform the program manager immediately of his/her decision to withdraw so appropriate paperwork can be filed and the date of withdrawal established.

A student may be automatically withdrawn due to the consecutive absence rule. In career and technical programs, a student who does not submit the required notification and is absent for six (6) consecutive days is considered to be officially withdrawn and the date of withdrawal will be the last date of recorded attendance. The withdrawal date will determine if there will be an adjus tment to financial aid records. In Adult General Education programs, the withdrawal policy states that a student is automatically withdrawn from a program after five (5) consecutive absences with the official date of withdrawal being the first absence in the sequence Lastly, a student may be withdrawn due to excessive absences or poor academic performance. In this case, the student will be counseled concerning the situation before dismissal will take place, unless the negative performance occurs too late in the c ourse or term for counseling to take place. Upon withdrawal, the student will be notified in writing of the reason for dismissal; a nd the withdrawal date will be stated in the letter.

Financial aid recipients who withdraw should also consult with the Financial Aid Office to discuss the status of their aid e ligibility.

Federal policy dictates that the Financial Aid Office is required to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw prior to completing 60% of the payment period. This review is to determine the amount of unearned funds that must b e returned to the federal government under Title IV guidelines. If it is determined that a return to Title IV is necessary, the Financial Aid Office will process the corresponding paperwork and inform the student if any debt exists.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT RECORDS / Student records are confidential and shall be accessible only to professional staff, the parents of students who a re under the age of 18, eligible students 18 years of age or older, and other individuals and agencies as set forth by law, Schoo l Board Policy; or as authorized in writing by the adult students themselves or their legal parent or legal guardian, if the stu dents are under the age of 18.

SPECIFIC PROHIBITION / It is sexual harassment for a student to subject another student to any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. Stu dents who engage in such conduct shall be subject to actions as described on the following page.

MarionTC.edu | 57

SEXUAL HARASSMENT / The School Board Policies 2.71 forbids discrimination against any student on the basis of sex/gender. Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination which is against the law and is against Board Policy. The Board will not tolerate sexual harassment activity by any of its students.

The Board will not tolerate sexual harassment activity by any of its employees. This policy also applies to non-employee volunteers who work subject to the control of school authorities. The protections of this policy are afforded to any applicants for employment or employee of the Board as well as to any student attending school in the Marion County School System and his or her parent( s) or guardian(s).

Sexual harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other inappropriate oral, written or physical conduct of a sexual nature when such conduct substantially interferes with an employee’s work performance or a stude nt’ s education program, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive school environment.

Sexual harassment, as defined above, may include but is not limited to, the following: Unwelcome or unwanted sexual advances. This means patting, pinching, brushing up against, hugging, cornering, kissing, fondling, or any other similar physical contact, unless it is welcomed.

Unwelcome requests or demands for sexual favors. This includes subtle or blatant expectations, pressures or requests for a sexual favor (this includes unwelcome requests for dates) whether or not it is accompanied by an implied or stated promise of preferential treatment or negative consequence of employment or academic status.

Verbal abuse or kidding that is sexually-oriented and considered unwelcome. This includes comments about one’s gender, body, or appearance, where such comments go beyond mere courtesy; telling “dirty jokes” that are unwanted and considered offensive; or any tasteless, sexually-oriented comments, innuendos, or actions that offend.

Any type of sexually-oriented conduct that would unreasonably interfere with work or academic performance. This includes extending unwanted sexual advances towards someone whether or not it reduces that person’s productivity or time available to work at assigned tasks.

Creating a work or school environment that is intimidating, hostile, abusive or offensive, because of unwelcome or unwanted sexually-oriented conversations, suggestions, requests, demands, physical contacts or attentions.

Normal, courteous, mutually respectful, pleasant, non-coercive interactions that are acceptable to both parties are not considered to be harassment.

58 | MarionTC.edu

PROCEDURES / Any student who alleges sexual harassment by another student may use the student grievance procedure or may report directly t o the building Director/Principal. Filing of a complaint or otherwise reporting sexual harassment will not affect the student’s status, extracurricular activities, future grades or work assignments.

The right to confidentiality, both of the complainant and of the accused, will be respected, consistent with the Board’s legal obligations; and with the necessity to investigate allegations of misconduct, and take corrective action when this condu ct has occurred. In determining whether alleged conduct, constitutes sexual harassment, the totality of the circumstances, the natur e of the conduct and the context in which the alleged conduct occurred will be investigated. The Superintendent or designee has th e responsibility of investigating and resolving complaints of sexual harassment.

A substantiated charge against a student shall subject that student to disciplinary action including, but not limited to, sus pension or expulsion, consistent with the Code of Student Conduct.

STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE / The following procedure is for the resolution of student complaints concerning school policies or possible violation of legis lation against discrimination. This procedure is provided in an effort to comply with Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Titl e IX of the Educational Amendments of 1976, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 199 0.

It is recognized that complaints and grievances by students and employees may arise from actual or perceived situations and circumstances related to the prohibition of discrimination and/or harassment on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, marital status or qualified disability. It is the intent of this procedure to assure that complain ts and grievances are resolved in an expeditious, orderly and equitable manner that serves to fulfill the letter and intent of the regulations. All administrative heads and principals are required to make a conscientious effort to fully consider and understand the nature and basis of the complaint or grievance of a student or employee, and resolve it without delay; or refer it to the appropriate so urce for resolution without delay. The initiation of a complaint or grievance by a student will not be used as a basis for actions tha t adversely affect the student’s standing in school.

Grievances and complaints for discrimination and/or harassment will be handled in an informal manner and without extraneous administrative barriers, except that a record or log of each complaint and grievance including the final disposition of each will be maintained.

B. Procedure for Complaints Step 1 – The plaintiff(s), student(s), shall communicate within sixty (60) school or working days of the alleged incident to the principal or guidance counselor the desire to discuss a discrimination and/ or harassment-related complaint.

If, through no fault of the plaintiff, the discussion is not scheduled and held within three (3) school days or working days following the initial communication, a grievance may be filed.

MarionTC.edu | 59

STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES (CONTINUED) Step II – If the discussion is scheduled and held within three (3) working days following the initial communication and the complaint is not resolved, the plaintiff may file a grievance.

C. Procedure for Grievance Step I –

The plaintiff, student(s), shall within sixty (60) school days or working days communicate in writing to the principal or

guidance counselor that there has been a discriminatory or harassing action or inaction committed at the school, as appropria te, by factors specified. The principal or administrator will be responsible for scheduling a discussion of the grievance with th e plaintiff within five (5) school days or working days following receipt of the communication or knowledge giving rise to the grievance.

Step II – If, as determined by the plaintiff, the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved in Step I, an appeal for a ruling may be made by the student five (5) days following receipt of Step I decision to the Executive Director of Student Services of th e nature and substance of the grievance filed.

Step III – If after discussion of the grievance with the Executive Director of Student Services (student) in the opinion of the plaintiff, it is not resolved, or cannot be resolved at that level, the grievance may be forwarded by the plaintiff within five (5) scho ol or working days to the Superintendent for a final ruling.

D. Special Provisions Failure on the part of a student to observe the time limits for initiation and/or follow-up on a complaint or grievance will automatically result in the complaint or grievance being considered abandoned. Failure by a principal or administrator to res pond to a complaint or grievance within the prescribed time limits will automatically move the complaint or grievance to the next step.

Under the aforementioned circumstances, the plaintiff may submit the complaint to the next level of consideration.

Students are required to continue attendance at school and pursue their studies as directed while complaints or grievances ar e pending resolution.

Copies of all communications pertaining to a complaint or grievance may be provided to the student; and, if appropriate, copi es will be furnished to the Section 504, Title IX or Education Equity Coordinator for input.

Step IV – If the grievance is not settled at the district level, the student may appeal to the accreditation agency (COE).
