What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1974 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs, activities, and employment. This:

  • applies to all institutions that receive federal financial assistance

Through Title IX, West Fargo Public Schools is required to:

  • designate a Title IX coordinator(s)
  • adopt and publish grievance procedures that are prompt and equitable and allow for the adequate, reliable, and impartial investigation of complaints
