The Atlanta school board is accepting public comment on its revised discrimination policy, which expands the definition of harassment and retaliation.

The updated policy covers prohibitions on discrimination by race, religion, sex, citizenship, age disability, military status, sexual orientation and several other areas.

Public comments on the policy may be submitted to Rebecca Kaye at rkaye@atlantapublicschools.us before the policy is decided by the school board.
