K-12 Coordinator One: Foundations

This comprehensive course is focused broadly on the role of Title IX Coordinators, all aspects of Title IX compliance, oversight of investigations, and more in the K through Grade 12 system. Every district in the country is required by the Department of Education to have a Title IX Coordinator, and to designate that individual to the community as a contact point for a Title IX communications and grievances. This administrator is responsible for coordination of all your institution’s compliance efforts on gender discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, sexual assault, athletics equity and related civil rights investigations. K-12 Administrators all over the country continue to share with ATIXA their lack of clarity on the role, responsibilities and the expectations the Department of Education has for their position. There is confusion over whether there is more to the Coordinator role than being a designee for Office for Civil Rights (OCR) communications, who their Administrator is, and what that person is supposed to do. With legislation, resolution letters and open investigations continuing to affect our work as Title IX administrators, the Title IX Coordinator position continues to grow and develop over time. This course will address these questions and the confusion about the responsibilities of an Administrator in the grade school level system. This comprehensive course is focused broadly on the role of Title IX Administrators, Title IX compliance, investigations, athletics equity, and 504 disability compliance.
