Demystifying Education Complaint Processing with the CHRO

Speaker

Megan Graefe, CHRO

Speaker Bio

Meg is Human Rights Attorney 3 for the CHRO. In addition to prosecuting complaints of discrimination before the CHRO’s adjudicatory body, she mediates and investigates complaints, counsels regional staff on legal and case processing issues, develops internal and external trainings on a variety of discrimination topics, and handles administrative appeals of agency decisions. In 2022, Meg defended the agency’s decision in Board of Education of City of New Haven v. CHRO, 344 Conn. 603 (2022), the most recent case before the Connecticut Supreme Court to address the state equivalent of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act’s exhaustion requirement in the context of a CHRO complaint. She is also passionate about language access, diversity, and inclusion in the education space.
