be successful.

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) prohibits illegal discrimination based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national
origin, religion, immigration status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, family/parental
status, marital status, age, physical or mental disability, poverty and socioeconomic status, language, or other legally or
constitutionally protected attributes or affiliations. Discrimination undermines our community’s long-standing efforts to create,
foster, and promote equity, inclusion, and acceptance for all. Some examples of discrimination include acts of hate, violence,
insensitivity, harassment, bullying, disrespect, or retaliation. For more information, please review Montgomery County Board
of Education Policy ACA, Nondiscrimination, Equity, and Cultural Proficiency. This Policy affirms the Board’s belief that each
and every student matters, and in particular, that educational outcomes should never be predictable by any individual’s actual
or perceived personal characteristics. The Policy also recognizes that equity requires proactive steps to identify and redress
implicit biases, practices that have an unjustified disparate impact, and structural and institutional barriers that impede
equality of educational or employment opportunities.
