Civil Rights in Education Laws

Civil rights in education laws ensure that all students have equal access to a safe and supportive learning environment. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, disability, and other characteristics. In the context of school safety and security, these laws require schools to implement measures that protect students from violence and harassment while also safeguarding their rights. This means schools must create policies that promote safety and security without infringing on students' rights or creating a hostile environment, fostering both a safe learning space and equal opportunities for all students.
