Title IX
Sexual harassment is prohibited by Title IX, which ensures that no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Our district is committed to preventing sexual harassment and addressing it promptly and effectively when it occurs. For detailed information, please refer to the following district policy:
WNESU Title IX Policy (District Policy C12)
Reporting Procedures
Any person may report sexual harassment whether relating to themselves or another person. A Report of Sexual Harassment may be made at any time, in person, by mail, by telephone, electronic mail, or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person's verbal or written report.
While the District strongly encourages Reports of Sexual Harassment to be made directly to the Title IX Coordinator, the report may be made to any District staff member, including, for instance, a counselor, teacher, or principal.
In cases where the Title IX Coordinator is the alleged respondent, the report or formal complaint may be made directly to the Superintendent, who shall thereafter fulfill the functions of the Title IX Coordinator regarding that report/complaint or delegate the function to another person.
