In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), the Berkeley County Board of Education (“District”) does not discriminate and does not permit the discrimination on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities that it operates. This policy and administrative procedures only apply to complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of sex as prohibited by Title IX including sexual harassment, quid pro quo, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking (as those offenses are defined in the Clery Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), and the Violence Against Women Act, 34 U.S.C. § 12291(a)). If an employee or student believes that he or she has been discriminated against in violation of Title IX, please reference the District’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy Guidelines and Procedures which are available on the District’s website, in every school site administrative office, and on request from the District’s Department of Pupil Services.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. In May of 2020, the United States Department of Education released new Title IX regulations that change the way school districts are required to respond to allegations of sexual harassment. These procedures have been revised accordingly so as to comply with the new Title IX regulations which went into full force and effect on August 14, 2020.
