OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City Public Schools officials say the federal education department is investigating the district for three complaints.
Superintendent Rob Neu disclosed the complaints during a school board meeting earlier this month.
The district is accused of failing to provide equal opportunities to male and female high school students, and of discriminating against blacks and disabled students related to alternative education placements. It's also accused of discrimination against Hispanic and black students related to discipline.
A spokeswoman for the district tells The Oklahoman that officials are working with the federal agency's civil rights office on each of the complaints. Because it's an ongoing legal issue, she says additional information can't be shared publicly at this time.
