Title IX

The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 34, Section 106.8 requires the School to issue the following notification to students, parents, guardians, employees, and applicants for admission or employment:

The School does not discriminate on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates. The prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sex is required by federal law (20 USC 1681-1688; 34 CFR Part 106). The School also prohibits retaliation against any student or employee for filing a complaint or exercising any right granted under Title IX.

Title IX requires the School to take immediate and appropriate action to address any potential Title IX violations that are brought to its attention. Any inquiries about the application of Title IX, this notice, and who is protected by Title IX may be referred to the School’s Title IX Coordinator, to the Office of Civil Rights, or both.

The School has designated and authorized the following employee as the School’s Title IX Coordinator to address concerns or inquiries regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions:
