Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

PCA is committed to openness and transparency in accordance with Delaware’s Freedom of Information Act. All FOIA requests must be submitted in writing and must describe the records sought in enough detail to allow PCA to locate them with reasonable effort. Requesting parties should be as specific as possible. To help locate the requested records, PCA may ask for additional information, such as the type of records, relevant dates, parties to correspondence, and subject matter.

All FOIA requests must be submitted by email to the FOIA Coordinator, Denise Stouffer.

Parent and Student Rights: Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106, is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. Providence Creek Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, genetic information, marital or family status, military status, veteran status, or age in its programs or activities.

To ensure compliance, PCA has a Title IX Coordinator who oversees complaints of sex discrimination and identifies and addresses patterns or systemic issues that may arise during the review process.
