Title IX and Student Protections

  • The Office of Title IX works to ensure the school district is free from sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence through our three units. 

    The Title IX Office will work with you to hear your report, investigate, and create safety measures at school. We can also provide guidance on reporting to the police, or getting other supports such as counseling. 

What We Do

  • Coordination

    Responsible for coordinating the district’s response to all reports of sexual misconduct affecting students to ensure that every incident reported to OSP is fully addressed and resolved.

    Investigations

    Responsible for leading investigations for the most serious or complex reports of sexual misconduct by students, and any employee misconduct related to those investigations.

    Compliance and Training

    Responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring effective training and compliance programs that comply with Title IX and address the management of related data.
