SYNOPSIS OF FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS AND DISTRICT COORDINATOR INFORMATION 

PUBLIC SCHOOLS 

SYNOPSIS OF LAWS 

EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES LAWS 

Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 Coordinator: Charles Egan 1-781-871-1122 

This federal statute prohibits states from denying equal educational opportunities to an individual based on certain protected 

classifications including national origin. It specifically prohibits denying equal educational opportunities by failing to take 

appropriate action to overcome language barriers that impede equal participation by its students in its instructional programs. (20 

USC S1203(f) 

Mass. General Laws CH.76, S5 (also known as Chapter 622) Coordinator: Risa Mancillas 1-781-878-7228 

This state law provides that "[n]o person shall be excluded from or discriminated against in admission to a public school of any 

town, or in obtaining the advantages, privileges and courses of study of such public school on account of race, color, sex, religion, 

national origin, or sexual orientation." 

McKinney-Veneto Homeless Assistance Program Homeless Liaison: Ellen Witter-Harrington 1-781-878-0786 

McKinney-Vento is the primary piece of federal legislation dealing with the education of children and youth experiencing 

homelessness in U.S. public schools. It was reauthorized as Title X, Part C, of the No Child Left Behind Act in January 2002. 

SPECIAL EDUCATION 

Chapter 688 (transition planning) Coordinator: Ellen Witter-Harrington 1-781-878-0786 

School districts file a Chapter 688 referral for students with severe disabilities who will need continued services and supports after 

their eligibility for special education ceases. School districts must make Chapter 688 referrals at least 2 years before the student is 

expected to graduate from school or turn 22 years of age. This allows time to determine the student's eligibility for adult services 

and for agencies to include the anticipated cost of services for the student in its budget request that it submits to the state 

legislature each year.
