Title IX Sexual Harassment Resources and Reporting
Sexual harassment affects a student’s ability to learn and an employee’s ability to work. Providing an educational and workplace environment free from sexual harassment is an important District goal. The District does not discriminate on the basis of sex in any of its education programs or activities, and it complies with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 [Title IX] and its implementing regulations (34 C.F.R. Part 106) concerning everyone in the District’s education programs and activities, including applicants for employment, students, parents/guardians, employees, and third parties
On May 6, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education issued its final rule amending the Title IX regulations. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to all public and private K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions that receive federal funding. Title IX and the corresponding regulations provide protection for students to access education free from discrimination on the basis of sex, the amended regulations provide additional protections and due process rights with regard to complaints of sexual harassment.
