Our district has appointed a Title IX Coordinator responsible for overseeing compliance with the law. The coordinator’s duties include:

  • Investigating complaints of sex discrimination
  • Providing information about Title IX rights and responsibilities
  • Implementing and monitoring Title IX compliance measures

What is Title IX?

Title IX is a landmark federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” This law applies to all aspects of education, including:

  • Admissions and recruitment
  • Academic programs and courses
  • Counseling and guidance
  • Athletics and physical education
  • Financial assistance
  • Employment in educational institutions

As an Education Service District, we are committed to upholding the principles of Title IX and ensuring equal opportunities for all students and staff.

Non-Discrimination

Title IX requires that all educational programs and activities be conducted without discrimination on the basis of sex. This includes protection against:

  • Sexual harassment and sexual violence
  • Gender-based discrimination
  • Discrimination based on pregnancy or parental status

See our Non-Discrimination page.

Reporting Violations

If you believe you have experienced or witnessed a violation of Title IX, we encourage you to report it to our Title IX Coordinator. All reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly.

Our Commitment

As an Education Service District, we are dedicated to creating and maintaining an educational environment free from all forms of sex discrimination. We strive to:

  • Promote awareness of Title IX rights and responsibilities
  • Provide regular training for staff and students
  • Continuously review and improve our policies and procedures

By upholding the principles of Title IX, we aim to ensure that all students and staff have equal opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed in our educational community.
