Current Narrative:

TWC ensures equal opportunities for all eligible students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries to participate in any project or activity carried out under the applicable program, including AEL, and promotes the ability of such students, teachers, and beneficiaries to meet high standards.

TWC also ensures equitable access to and participation in all projects and activities conducted with federal adult education funds. All AEL contractors, including those funded under AEFLA §223 and §231, are required to comply with the nondiscrimination provisions of 34 CFR §76.500 and 45 CFR §260.35, which bar discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and age under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act.

Programs must address the special challenges that students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries face in overcoming barriers to participation and are required to describe how individuals will benefit from equitable access to services, including access in the areas of facilities, assessment, orientation, and overall service delivery.

TWC ensures that local providers give equal access to, and afford equitable participation in, all such projects and activities through the monitoring and technical assistance process, and that they follow the applicable laws.
