On August 14, 2020, the Department of Education released its Final Rule on Title IX. The Final Rule determines how schools navigate incidents of sexual harassment. It changed many parts of Title IX, including the definition of sexual harassment, how to file complaints, and hearing procedures. The changes made by the Final Rule impact every public school system in the United States. To ensure compliance, Title IX Coordinators, administrators, and teachers need to understand the Final Rule.
That’s why MAEC created the Title IX Regulations Series. This series includes five documents, exploring updated roles and responsibilities, comparing how Title IX has changed, and outlining steps in the grievance procedure. You can check out all of our resources here:
