Title IX School Board Training

School Board Members, Superintendents, Principals

Trains School Boards on District Title IX responsibilities, requirements, policy, and liability for non-compliance.

If a school district knows or reasonably should have known about sexual harassment or sexual violence that creates a hostile environment, it must take immediate action to end the harassment, prevent its recurrence, and remediate its effects—regardless of whether a student complains. For example, widespread sexual graffiti on a public school campus would create a hostile environment resulting in sexual harassment. Failure to take action, or demonstrating “deliberate indifference” to harassment—a response that is “clearly unreasonable in light of the known circumstances”— could result in civil liability for the school district under Title IX in addition to any OCR enforcement action.

OCR enforces Title IX through administrative complaints brought by students or legalcompliance reviews . Violations can result in removal of all federal funding. Traditionally, complaints are resolved through a Voluntary Resolution Agreement (VRA), a form of settlement, with the district. Several VRAs with school districts have been finalized in the past few years. OCR can find a Title IX violation if a “responsible employee” knows of sexual harassment and fails to remedy the situation.

Hearing Officer/Decision Maker Training

Hearing Officers, Decision Makers, Hearing Panelists, Appeals Officers, School Disciplinary Officers, and Investigators

The new Title IX regulations require separate individuals designated as the investigator and decision maker in a Title IX matter. Learn to recognize and overcome bias, to understand their role, apply district policy, and make a finding with analytical precision.
