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.
