Title IX Updates

New Title IX regulations went into effect on August 14th.  The Oregon Department of Education is supporting School Districts in understanding and implementing the new regulations, and to holistically support all students in receiving an education free from sex discrimination.  As we move forward through this year, whether through comprehensive distance learning, in-person instruction, or a hybridization, it's imperative to continue to prioritize equal access and civil rights for all students.
