Beliefs

  • Student training and education

We believe that teaching students about their rights and responsibilities related to Title IX will create and maintain a culture of respect and safety for all students.  All students will be required to complete the Title IX training document during their enrollment process.

  • Staff training & education

We believe that staff training and education about Title IX will help deter inappropriate behaviors and will promote a learning environment that is inclusive, respectful, and safe for all students and staff.  All staff will be trained at the beginning of each year and given a power point with information for a reference.

  • Culture of equity 

We believe that all students and staff deserve access to a safe, positive and productive learning environment that is free of discrimination.

  • Respond promptly & appropriately to Title IX complaints

We believe that effective and efficient Title IX procedures, along with training on these procedures, will ensure that Title IX complaints are responded to in a prompt and appropriate manner.

CKTC will respond to any complaint filed promptly and appropriately.  The Title IX coordinator will follow procedures outlined by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights as well as following CKTC discrimination policy.  CKTC Discrimination and Grievance Policy and Procedures.
