1 VI. THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE (CRC) VI-1

2 THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE (CRC) The Office of Civil Rights Compliance (CRC) is charged with the task of investigating complaints of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, filed by employees, students/parents, and applicants in a thorough, objective, and timely manner. CRC maintains records of ongoing investigations in a confidential manner until a final determination is made on each case, pursuant to Chapter , Florida Statutes. Additionally, CRC responds to complaints/charges filed by individuals with state and/or federal enforcement agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). CRC will not investigate criminal complaints and must refer discovery of any alleged criminal conduct to the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department (M-DSPD). Allegations of serious, non-criminal conduct not related to discrimination/harassment issues will be referred to the Civilian Investigative Unit (CIU). Although CRC does not investigate complaints of student-on-student harassment, it is responsible for maintaining information on student-on-student complaints of harassment, including sexual harassment, investigated at the school site.
