CocoSPA programs, activities, and practices shall be free from unlawful discrimination, including discrimination against an individual or group based on actual or perceived race, age, sex, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information, immigration status, marital, family or parental status, medical condition, national origin, political affiliation, pregnancy and related conditions, race, religion, retaliation, sex (including sexual harassment), sexual orientation, Vietnam Era Veterans' status, or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics or any other basis prohibited by California state and federal non-discrimination laws respectively.
CocoSPA desires to provide a comprehensive CTE program in the secondary grades (9-12), which integrates core academic instruction with technical and occupational instruction in order to increase student achievement, graduation rates, and readiness for postsecondary education and employment. The school's CTE program is designed to help students develop the academic, career, and technical skills needed to success in a knowledge and skills-based economy. The program includes a rigorous academic component and provides students with practical experience and understanding of all aspects of an industry.
All CTE courses are offered without regard to actual or perceived characteristic protected from discrimination by law. CocoSPA ensures that the lack of English Language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in the CTE program.
