Under current Title IX Regulations, school districts must ensure that district officials (staff and trustees) involved in sexual harassment (Title IX) matters receive training on the definition of “sexual harassment,” the investigation process, the grievance process, the decision-making, and appeal processes, and avoiding conflicts of interest and bias. Although the U.S. Department of Education has released proposed changes to the Title IX Regulations, training on this subject is required under the law. This training meets the requirements under Title IX.
