Section 4-02 – Inclusion Process/STEP

As a Catholic school, every attempt is made to serve students whose parents desire a Catholic education. Although a full range of services may not be available to every student, Bishop Alemany High School will strive to include students with varied learning needs. All educators in Catholic schools follow “Directions for the Inclusion Process in Catholic Schools: Support Team Education Plan Process" (STEP) and “Minor Adjustment Plan Process" (MAP). Parents or guardians who feel that their student may need a minor adjustment to enable him or her to participate in the general education curriculum of Bishop Alemany should talk to the student's teacher and Principal to implement the STEP or MAP process. Parents or guardians who need a structure for resolution of complaints arising out of a student's disability may request the “Disability Discrimination Complaint Review Process for Students and Their Parents or Guardians" form from the Principal.

14.1 - Introduction

Archdiocesan schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. However, certain schools in the archdiocese are operated as single sex schools. [Note that by adopting this non-discrimination policy the archdiocese is not waiving any legal exceptions or exemptions that may apply to it as a religious nonprofit organization.] While schools do not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs. Parents/guardians must be informed that they may request a minor adjustment for students with a disability and of the appropriate procedure to address any <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=7c52c6b6-eea1-4fc3-ac3a-90f0c442a28e&TermSetId=8b66c3a8-bdfa-4bea-9c29-07c09bf9129e&TermId=f85a3495-035c-45e4-88eb-3fcfd875838d">complaints of discrimination.</a> 5-4-2021, 8-16-2022
