Title IX Information
Sexual Harassment Formal Complaint
Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, regardless of whether the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of the reported conduct or not. A report may be made in person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person's verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or electronic email address, or by mail to the office address, listed for the Title IX Coordinator. Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments Act protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. The District does not discriminate on the basis of sex and is required by Title IX not to discriminate in such a manner.
The District accepts and shall employ the definition of sexual harassment as established by the Title IX regulations. Title IX prohibits sexual harassment and other harassment on the basis of sex including conduct on the basis of sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity including:
A. Quid pro quo harassment. An employee, agent, or other person authorized by the recipient to provide an aid, benefit, or service under the recipient’s education program or activity explicitly or impliedly conditioning the provision of such an aid, benefit, or service on a person’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct; and
B. Hostile environment harassment. Unwelcome sex-based conduct that, based on the totality of the circumstances, is subjectively and objectively offensive and is so severe or pervasive that it limits or denies a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from the recipient’s education program or activity; and
C. Specific offenses including sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and/or domestic violence.
