Title IX
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states: “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.
This means you have a right to be free from:
Unequal treatment in educational programs or employment
Sexual Harassment, such as unwelcome sexual advances, stalking or harassment on social media
Sexual violence, such as sexual assault, dating violence or domestic violence
How to Report or File a Complaint
To report potential Title IX concerns contact your building administrator or the Jefferson Joint School District Title IX Coordinator.
Title IX Grievance Procedure
District employees and students who believe that they have witnessed an incident or that they have been subjected to sex or gender-based harassment, discrimination, or retaliation should report the incident.
