Title IV
Title VI - Part of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (gender), or national origin. It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations").
The legislation is comprised of several segments identified as "Title" followed by a number. Thus "Title I" (Title One) outlaws discrimination regarding voting rights. Title VI concerns places of employment either partially or fully funded by government funds.

Incorporated in 1974 and funded in part by Wayne County SB40, the workshop has employed and trained many county citizens over the past 40+ years and continues doing so in our facility opened in 2004 at its present location, 6 Sugar Creek Road. We typically average 28 employees with 4 staff. Our goals include training employees to make progress towards their full potential and become paycheck earning and tax paying citizens despite their situation which might preclude working in a "standard" environment. In addition, we provide an environment conducive to their being able to meet those objectives.
Our employees are taught vocational skills so they become fully employed citizens despite their limitations. The environment of the workshop is specifically designed to accomplish this result.
Our present facility is approximately 15,000 square feet and includes a fully reinforced concrete tornado shelter to protect both employees and staff in case of extreme weather.
Wayne County Missouri currently has a population of 13,404 (2013 census bureau estimate) and the population has declined slightly since 2010. We serve the entire Wayne County area and although 28 of 13,404 may seem small it fits within our guidelines for acceptance into the program.

G - Title VI - Language Assistance Plan
This limited English proficiency (LEP) plan has been prepared to address S.E.E., Inc.'s responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with limited language skills. The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Federal Transit Administration Circular 4702.1B dated October 1, 2012, which states that the level and quality of transporation service is provided without regard to race, color or national origin.
Executive order 13166, titled "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency", indicates that differing treatment based upon a person's inability to speak, read, write or understand English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each federal agency to publish guidance for its respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not occur. This order applies to S.E.E., Inc.
S.E.E., Inc., has investigated the LEP demographics of our service area (Wayne County, Missouri) and based on the US Census Bureau's data, the following table with our demographic data has been prepared. It's obvious from the data that our service area is primarily an English speaking community with little to no contact with other languages except limited to no contact with individuals who speak only Spanish.
LEP Population in Wayne County, Missouri
Population 5 years and over by
language spoken at home and ability to speak English
S.E.E., Inc., has surveyed its staff personnel and determined that communication with persons who speak only Spanish is possible. Our manager, Alma Griffith, is able to speak and understand some Spanish and is prepared to serve as an interpreter when needed.
S.E.E., Inc., has also reviewed the frequency with which office staff and drivers have contact with LEP individuals. We have had little to no contact with such individuals and average zero (0) phone calls per month.
Also, all staff have been informed to contact Alma Griffith in the event they are required to interact with a person who speaks only Spanish.
