(b) Persons who have filed a complaint, pursuant to this chapter,
with an educational institution shall be advised by the educational

also be available to complainants. The educational institution shall
make this information available by publication in appropriate
informational materials.
(c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require an
exhaustion of the appeal to the Board of Governors of the California

alleges that he or she is a victim of discrimination may not seek
civil remedies pursuant to this section until at least 90 days have
elapsed from the filing of a discrimination complaint with the local
educational agency. The 90-day moratorium imposed by this subdivision
does not apply to injunctive relief and is applicable only if the
local educational agency has appropriately, and in a timely manner,
apprised the complainant of his or her right to file a complaint.
