Carthage, N.C. – Moore County Schools were advised on Tuesday, May 14, by PFLAG Southern Pines that it was filing a Title IX complaint against the District with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). The District has not yet received anything from OCR. The District did receive a copy of the Complaint from PFLAG on Tuesday, May 14.
Several weeks ago, PFLAG filed a separate complaint with the District, which has been under review. PFLAG was advised in writing on May 2, 2024, that its concerns were being considered, that the complained of guidelines were undergoing legal review, and that the District would be back in touch once that review was completed.
The Moore County Board of Education adopted Policy 5416: Parents’ Bill of Rights on April 17, 2023. Moore County Schools recognize the equality and rights of all persons and seek to ensure that all students, teachers, administrators, and other school employees respect the dignity, rights, and differing opinions of others.
Our legal counsel will address the OCR Complaint.
