Title IX & Nondiscrimination

Title IX & Nondiscrimination

Crosslake Community Schools provides a learning and working environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex. In accordance with Title IX and other applicable laws, our district prohibits sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, in all education programs and activities, including in admissions and employment.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX protections apply to students, employees, applicants and others participating in or seeking access to district programs and activities. Sex discrimination may include sexual harassment and other conduct prohibited under Title IX. Crosslake Community Schools takes reports of possible sex discrimination seriously and provides processes for individuals to raise concerns, report conduct or file a complaint. The district also prohibits retaliation against individuals who report discrimination, participate in a Title IX process or exercise rights protected under Title IX.

Crosslake Community Schools has designated a Title IX Coordinator to oversee the district’s compliance with Title IX, respond to questions and concerns, and provide information about available reporting and grievance procedures. Questions regarding Title IX may be directed to the district’s Title IX Coordinator or to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

Any individual may report suspected sex discrimination or sexual harassment, whether or not they are directly affected by the alleged conduct.

Reports may be made to the Title IX Coordinator in person, by telephone, by email, or by mail. Reports may be submitted at any time, including outside regular school hours.

CCS employees who become aware of alleged sex discrimination or sexual harassment are required under district policy to promptly report the information to the Title IX Coordinator.

To report a concern, contact the Title IX Coordinator using the information above.

When a report of sexual harassment is received, the Title IX Coordinator contacts the affected individual to discuss available supportive measures, consider their wishes, and explain the district's formal complaint process.

Supportive measures may be available even when an individual chooses not to file a formal complaint. Depending on the circumstances, these may include counseling, adjustments to educational schedules or deadlines, or other measures intended to support access to education.

When a formal complaint is filed, CCS follows its established grievance procedures, which include an impartial investigation, consideration of relevant evidence, a written determination, and opportunities for appeal.

CCS maintains confidentiality as required by applicable law and prohibits retaliation against individuals who report concerns or participate in the grievance process.
