P 1320 Nondiscrimination and Freedom from Harassment on the Basis of Sex

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 provides as follows:

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.

It is the policy of the Board of Education to maintain a learning and working environment that is free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of sex. The School District does not and will not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational programs, activities, and vocational opportunities offered by the District. The provisions of Title IX extend not only to students with regard to educational opportunities and freedom from harassment, but also to employees with regard to employment opportunities and freedom from harassment, and to individuals with whom the Board does business.

The Board will designate an individual to act as the Title IX compliance coordinator, and ensure that the coordinator's name, business address, and telephone number, as well as the statements of nondiscrimination and harassment by the District, are published to patrons, employees, and students on an annual basis.

It will be the policy of the District to continually evaluate its practices and procedures to ensure fair and equitable educational and employment opportunities and freedom from harassment without regard to sex for all of its students and employees.

It shall be the policy of the Board that individuals be provided with an opportunity to present a discrimination grievance which should aid in the elimination of discriminatory acts. No person shall suffer reprisals as a result of having initiated or presented a grievance. The Superintendent shall develop procedures to resolve grievances and alleged discrimination or harassment.
