25 ACSA North State PD Conference

Title IX is the federal regulation that requires schools to protect against sex-based discrimination, including protections against sexual misconduct.  In addition to the federal regulations related to Title IX, California law includes several laws that supplement and overlap the requirements established by Title IX.  Collectively, these requirements require school districts to develop and implement a process to address sexual misconduct, that includes an intake process for reports of sexual misconduct, a grievance procedure to investigate reports, and a process to redress sexual misconduct.  

Recent litigation, as well as the incoming new Presidential administration, has created changes in the Title IX regulations but have not yet affected California requirements. This presentation will summarize the current status of Title IX and provide practical guidance to help school districts ensure their current sexual misconduct process complies with current federal and California law.
