Institutions of Higher Education and Elementary and Secondary Schools - Title VI Coordinators

Summary

The bill requires the governing board of each Maryland higher‑education institution and each local school system to appoint a Title VI Coordinator to oversee compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. It also allows anyone who believes they have faced discrimination to file a complaint with the state superintendent, the local school system’s Title VI Coordinator, or both, and spells out the coordinator’s duties such as training, record‑keeping and forwarding complaints. The goal is to strengthen monitoring and enforcement of civil‑rights protections in education.
