In May, 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Education issued new regulations amending the regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). The final regulations, effective August 14, 2020, specify how recipients of Federal financial assistance covered by Title IX, including elementary and secondary schools, must respond to allegations of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination. A summary prepared by the U.S. Department of Education is provided below.

Also provided below is a link to the District’s new Title IX Policy and Grievance Procedures, and copies of the training provided to members of the District staff.
