Title IX: Prohibiting Sex-Based Discrimination

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in all educational programs and activities, including athletic programs. No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity operated by Coast Unified School District. Title IX protects all participants in Coast Unified School District's educational programs and activities, including students, parents, employees, and job applicants. Coast Unified School District does not discriminate on the basis of sex. Discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Coast Unified School District and the Title IX Coordinator are aware of and acknowledge the new Title IX regulations released on May 6, 2020 and effective as of August 14, 2020.  We have reviewed our policies and practices, which involves hearing from our stake-holders in order to implement a fair, thorough and impartial Title IX complaint process and Coast Unified School District response.
