Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in all education programs and activities. Title IX keeps students safe and in school by reducing barriers and protecting students from an environment that interferes with educational programs or activities or that creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile educational climate.
ABCUSD students of all genders who are experiencing any form of abuse, dating or sexual violence, (cyber)stalking and/or harassment, bullying or discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity are protected under the Title IX law.
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces Title IX which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.
