Any person (including a person who is not claiming to have been personally harmed/victimized by the alleged discrimination) may report a concern or allegation regarding prohibited sex discrimination (including sexual harassment) to the District.  Such reports may be submitted as follows: 

1. To a District Title IX Coordinator, either in person, by U.S. mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail, using the contact information listed above.  In person reports should be made when the Title IX Coordinator is reasonably available during regular working hours.  Reports submitted by telephone, mail, or electronic mail may be made at any time. 

2. By any other means that results in a Title IX Coordinator actually receiving the person's verbal or written report. 

As required by the federal Title IX regulations, the District has established a formal grievance process for investigating and resolving “formal complaints” of “sexual harassment,” as those terms are defined in the regulations. 

An individual who is alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment under the federal Title IX regulations (i.e., a Title IX “complainant”), or a parent or guardian who has a legal right to act on behalf of such an individual, may file a formal complaint of sexual harassment.  No Title IX complainant is obligated to file a formal complaint, but a qualifying formal complaint is necessary for the District to start an investigation using the District’s formal Title IX grievance process.  

Complainants are expected to file formal complaints of sexual harassment with a District Title IX Coordinator by submitting a document or electronic submission in person, by U.S. mail, or by electronic mail, using the contact information specified above.  The form(s) may be found in the Procedure for Policy:  Student Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying Policy and/or Procedure for Policy: Employee Title IX.

Additional requirements for formal complaints of Title IX sexual harassment, including a description of the required content for a formal complaint, are set forth in Procedure for Policy:  Student Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying Policy and/or Procedure for Policy:  Employee Title IX.

The District has established grievance procedures through which the District structures its response to reports that allege unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity of the District.  Those procedures are set forth in Procedure for Policy:  Student Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying Policy and/or Procedure for Policy:  Employee Title IX.  The purpose of such procedures is to provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of any report or complaint of alleged sex discrimination, excluding formal complaints of sexual harassment under Title IX (which are subject to a different process).  

Any time that the District has actual knowledge of sexual harassment or allegations of sexual harassment that could constitute a violation of Title IX, the District has obligations to respond to such knowledge in a manner that is not deliberately indifferent and in a manner that treats the alleged victim(s) of sexual harassment and the alleged perpetrator(s) of sexual harassment equitably. Such a response includes, but is not limited to, offering supportive measures to a complainant and investigating and resolving any formal complaint that presents allegations of Title IX sexual harassment using the formal grievance process that the District has adopted for such formal complaints.  District procedures for responding to alleged sexual harassment under Title IX, including the formal grievance process, are set forth in Procedure for Policy:  Student Non-Discrimination, Anti-Harassment and Anti-Bullying Policy and/or Procedure for Policy:   Employee Title IX.
