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.

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.
