It is the policy of this district that the curriculum content and instructional materials utilized reflect the cultural and racial diversity present in the United States and the variety of careers and roles open to both men and women in our society. One of the objectives of the total curriculum and teaching strategies is to reduce stereotyping and to eliminate bias on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, and physical disability. The curriculum should foster respect and appreciation for the cultural diversity found in our country and an awareness of the rights, duties, and responsibilities of each individual as a member of a multicultural, multiethnic, nonsexist society.
Inquiries regarding compliance with Title IX or VI may be directed to Randy Moffit, Superintendent, North Mahaska Community School, P.O. Box 89, New Sharon, Iowa 50207, or to the Director of Regional VII Office of Civil Rights, Kansas City, Missouri. It is the intent within the social studies curriculum that students acquire the knowledge and skills to become good citizens of the United States of America and of the State of Iowa, and that they will participate in the governmental processes afforded them.
