Title IX - Students' Complaints of Sexual Discrimination/Harassment

Neshoba County School District’s

Notice Regarding Title IX Amended Regulations

Title IX states “[n]o Person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a)

The Neshoba County School District does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that it operates, and this District is required by Title IX, as amended, not to discriminate in such a manner. This requirement not to discriminate applies to students and employees and extends to applicants for employment.

Title IX was originally enacted in 1972. Amended regulations addressing sexual harassment under Title IX were issued on May 6, 2020 and are effective as of August 14, 2020. The amended regulations define sexual harassment under Title IX and establish procedures to respond to an allegation of sexual harassment. The District is updating its policies implementing the amended regulations as they are introduced.

Neshoba County School District’s Title IX Coordinator is:

The Title IX Coordinator is the person authorized by the school district to coordinate the District’s Title IX compliance program. Any person may report sex discrimination, including sex harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sex discrimination), in person, by mail, by telephone, or e-mail, or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Any District employee who knows or learns information concerning conduct related to sexual harassment or allegations of sexual harassment should immediately notify the Title IX Coordinator.
