notice of nondiscriminationThe Board of Education is committed to maintaining a learning/working environment in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, free from discrimination and harassment. There will be no tolerance for discrimi-nation or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, ge-netic information, disability or age. The District prohibits harassment and other forms of discrimination whether oc-curring at school, on District property, in a District vehicle, or at any District related activity or event. The Superinten-dent will designate compliance officers and develop and implement regulations for the reporting, investigation and resolution of complaints of discrimination or harassment. The following people have been designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies: Stu-dents - Inquiries related to discrimination on the basis of disability should be directed to: Executive Director of Spe-cial Education, 31301 Evergreen Road Birmingham, MI 48025, 248.203.3000. Direct all other inquiries related to discrimination to: Assistant Superintendent of Human Re-sources, 31301 Evergreen Road, Birmingham, MI 48025, 248.203.3000.

Injuries and Personal Property Damage and Loss

We are frequently asked: “Are my children or am I in-sured by Birmingham Public Schools in the event of in-jury while participating in a school district program?” A follow-up question is: “Does the district have insurance to protect personal property that I or my children may bring to school?” The answer is “no.” BPS does not provide in-surance for injuries, damage, or loss of property. A State of Michigan statute grants the Birmingham Public School District and other public bodies (e.g., cities, villages, etc.) with immunity to tort liability. What this means is that be-cause we are a public agency funded through tax dollars and we are providing a public service, we are not held li-able in the event of injury or loss of property. The Board of Education has decided that the district should not use tax-payers’ tax dollars to provide for these risks. Your home-owner’s policy may cover property damaged or lost from the school premises (e.g., automobiles, bicycles, band instruments, calculators, etc.) WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ADEQUATE HEALTH AND PROPERTY DAMAGE/LOSS INSURANCE COV-ERAGE.
