This site contains forms and resources for reporting, preventing, and responding to allegations of discrimination or harassment, including allegations of unlawful sexual behavior.
- They are solely for allegations of potentially discriminatory conduct based on a person’s protected class.
- DPS recognizes the following protected classes: race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, transgender status, religion, national origin, immigration/citizenship status, ancestry, age, marital status, pregnancy status, veteran status, disability, genetic information of an employee, and participation in a discrimination investigation.
District run schools, select the appropriate report from the menu below. Note, you must be on the DPS network to access these forms. Log into VPN if you need to access the forms off-site.
