Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The Mamaroneck Union Free School District has agreed to a series of reforms after an attorney general’s office investigation found school and district officials failed to adequately protect nonwhite students from bullying and racial harassment.
“With this agreement, the Mamaroneck Union Free School District has committed to take appropriate measures to meet its duty to children and their families and to protect students from bullying, harassment, and discrimination,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a release announcing the agreement. “My office will continue to do everything in its power to ensure that every child feels safe and respected in the classroom.
The complaints involved “white and other non-Black students using racial epithets towards or about Black and other minority students, students making inappropriate references to skin color or complexion, and other instances in which sexually offensive terms were used to degrade a student’s perceived sexual orientation and which were interlaced with racial epithets,” according to the attorney general office.
