Title IX & District Compliance

District Compliance Officers 

The Board designates the following individuals to serve as the District's Compliance Officers (Cos).

Jennifer Pelko, Assistant Superintendent 440-572-7037 18199 Cook Ave., Strongsville, OH 44136 TitleIX@scsmustangs.org

Andy Trujillo, Director of Student Services 440-572-7045 18199 Cook Ave., Strongsville, OH 44136 TitleIX@scsmustangs.org

 

The COs are responsible for coordinating the District's efforts to comply with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, including the District's duty to address in a prompt and equitable manner any inquiries or complaints regarding discrimination, retaliation or denial of equal access. Additionally, COs are responsible for discussing concerns related to unlawful harassment, to assist students, staff, other members of the District community, and third parties who seek support or advice when informing another individual about "unwelcome" conduct, or to intercede informally on behalf of the individual in those instances where concerns have not resulted in the filing of a formal complaint and where all parties are in agreement to participate in an informal process. COs accept complaints of unlawful harassment directly from any member of the School District community or a visitor to the District.

Reports can also be made using the Stay Safe Speak Up website and hotline.
