On May 19, 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Education amended the regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation, including peer-to-peer sexual harassment and sexual violence. The new regulations took effect on August 14, 2020. The district updated policies to reflect changes in the new regulations. The district identified specific roles and individuals within the investigatory process, increased training for investigatory staff, and required the district to post certain information prominently on this website.
