Discrimination Discrimination based on sex includes harassment as defined below:

How to Report a Title IX Concern

Any person may report conduct that may constitute sex discrimination or sexual harassment under Title IX. Reports may be made by students, parents or guardians, employees, or other third parties, including individuals who are not directly involved in the alleged conduct. Reports may be made at any time, and supportive measures are available regardless of whether a formal complaint is filed.

Any student or employee who believes themselves to be discriminated against, on the basis of sex (to include sex-based harassment, sexual violence, and discrimination based on pregnancy, parental status, or sex stereotypes), should make a report to an administrator or the School Title IX Contact. Alleged violations will be investigated, and when it is determined that a violation has occurred, prompt appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against persons found to be in violation. These actions include sanctions authorized by law, Board policy, and the Code of Student Conduct and Discipline.
