Title IX
The district does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that it operates and is required by Title IX not to discriminate in such a manner.

Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or electronic mail address, or by mail to the office address, listed for the Title IX Coordinator.
All employees, students, and visitors who have witnessed, heard about, or received a report about any incident or behavior that could constitute sexual harassment under this policy must immediately report such incident or behavior to the district's Title IX Coordinator for investigation.
