    Durham schools to make changes after group's complaint over treatment of Latino families

    10:59 a.m. EST, November 9, 2011
    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — One of North Carolina's largest school districts is making changes for Latino students and parents after resolving a complaint filed by a national civil rights advocacy group.

    Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Durham public schools are in the process of strengthening anti-discrimination policies and reaching out to Spanish-speaking families following a complaint this year by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    The agreement was reached with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.

    The law center had said Durham schools were failing to provide Latino families with adequate resources, including translated materials for parents and interpreters.

    Jerri Katzerman, the group's deputy legal director, says the agreement will help students participate fully in their schools.

    Messages left with a Durham schools spokesman were not immediately returned Wednesday.
