Are all programs in NWABSD covered by Title IX?
Yes. All programs in a school are covered if the school district receives federal financial assistance. Title IX covers all the operations of a school that receives financial assistance including academics, extracurricular activities, athletics, and other programs. Title IX applies to the actions of a school regardless of where they occur, including those that take place in the facilities of the school, on a school bus, at a class or training program sponsored by the school at another location, or elsewhere off-campus if it is impacting the education of the student.
