As the federal court judge struck down the 2024 Title IX regulations in their entirety, this means we will revert back to 2020 Title IX regulations, but any procedural aspects of the 2024 regulations may be implemented for better practice and mitigation. However, the definitions and substantive changes noted in 2024 no longer apply. In the meantime, the most significant 2024 changes that no longer apply are the definitions of what constitutes “sex”. These will no longer apply as a result of January's 2025 decision.
This training focuses on Title IX compliance for K-12 schools, using the 2020 Regulations (the 2024 Final Rule having been repealed). Participants will acquire the skills and knowledge to build an effective Title IX compliance program and develop Title IX policies and procedures for their school. Ideal for school leaders and educators tasked with receiving and responding to Title IX complaints and developing interim measures. Best practices for investigations and recordkeeping will also be explored.
