We believe that the Tangipahoa Parish School System exists to serve all the people as best it can. In order to do this, the school system believes that individuals should be accepted at their level of development and guided in such a way that they learn what is expected of them. We expect students to mature to their individual capacity emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, and vocationally.

We believe that children are endowed with individual capacities and characteristics, and that our schools, to the best of their abilities, should provide students with the kind of education best fitted for them as individuals. We know that the needs of children are similar, but not identical, and we try to adapt our program to this knowledge.

As children become older and more mature, we try to provide them with the opportunities to make choices, as we believe that the making of wise choices is a necessary part of living in a democracy.

We believe, therefore, that those involved in education must make every effort to meet the needs of all students in granting them the fullest possible educational opportunities.

This policy encompasses recruitment, selection, assignment, promotion, transfer, termination, compensation, training, and apprenticeship, and all other terms, conditions, benefits, and privileges associated with employment. This policy extends to the educational program and activities operated by the state, districts, and schools. Discrimination is specifically prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, and Title 45, Subtitle A, Part 66 of the implementing regulations administered by the Director of the Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
