Title IX

What is Title IX?

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, sex-based misconduct, relationship violence, discrimination based on pregnancy, and the failure to provide equal opportunities in employment, admission, enrollment, or any educational programs or activities.

SPAPSD adheres to all federal, state, and local civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and education. SPAPSD does not discriminate in its enrollment practices, in its employment practices, or in its educational programs or activities on the basis of sex. SPAPSD is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to ensure that all of its programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex and in compliance with Title IX, SPAPSD will not tolerate discrimination or harassing conduct that is based on sex, or any other protected status.

SPAPSD recognizes our shared responsibility to create a culture that does not tolerate sexual discrimination, and we remain committed to preventing sex discrimination and responding to all forms of sexual harassment or sexual violence. We will continue to be a community in which survivors are supported and fair processes are followed. Most importantly, we remain committed to supporting an inclusive, respectful, and caring community.

All SPAPSD staff, volunteers, vendors, contractors, and consultants are required to use the ‘Notice Requirements’ outlined in the SPAPSD Procedure Manual for Sexual Harassment (Title IX), Policy 2266. Only a student, parent or guardian, or member of the public may choose to report an allegation anonymously. We are not able to guarantee that your report will remain confidential. In certain instances, we may be required to disclose it by law. If you have any questions, please call our office at 715-345-5454 or email jmcmahon@pointschools.net.
