Title IX: More than Sexual Harassment and School Sports
This presentation will address the complicated framework of Title IX and how it applies to charter schools. We will address the scope and parameters of the federal law and the multiple regulations shaping the application of Title IX to families, employees, and community members participating in school programs.
This session aims to educate and support school administrators, Human Resources personnel, Title IX coordinators, internal investigators, Title IX decision-makers, and individuals facilitating informal resolution processes under Title IX. The highly-anticipated new regulations are expected to substantially alter the requirements and processes in this area. Join our experts as we walk through the significant changes and help prepare you for the road ahead.
