Title iX
Title IX
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, including state and local educational agencies. Educational programs and activities that receive federal funds from the Department of Education must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. Also, a recipient may not retaliate against any person for opposing an unlawful educational practice or policy, or because a person made charges, testified, or participated in any complaint action under Title IX.
With sexual harassment allegations, districts and charter schools must comply with the requirements for the grievance process under Title IX. This grievance process aims to emphasize the importance of treating parties equitably in the specific context of Title IX sexual harassment. You may contact your Title IX Coordinator to request your district or charter school’s Title IX policy and learn how to file a formal complaint.
