Title IX Staff Support Materials

TITLE IX LETTER TEMPLATES 

(Optional as of August 2020)

New Title IX regulations took effect in August 2020.  Previously, under District Policy, all sexual harassment reports required a written report/letter to be sent to all parties involved in the incident(s).  With the new regulations, these reports/letters are no longer required, however, they may be used as an option if you so choose. 

Refer to Restorative Discipline Policy for levels for supports

The following is a temple to use as a Safety Plan.  The supportive measures included are from the above templates. Use this template if/when you need to document and/or the above templates are not appropriate for your situation.

AB 543 - SEXUAL HARASSMENT INFORMATIONAL POSTERS

For the lower grades, these posters are not required, but recommend they be posted in libraries, restrooms, classrooms, student meeting rooms, etc.
