In April 2024, the U.S. Department of Education issued the 2024
Title IX Final Rule on sex-based harassment and discrimination (the
"Final Rule"). The implementation day for the Final Rule
is August 1, 2024, giving public schools and other
covered entities just over 100 days to comply with the new
requirements.
Of note, the Final Rule redefines sex-based harassment and
broadens the scope of sex discrimination to include sex
stereotyping, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions,
sexual orientation and gender identity. Significantly, as the
Department of Education indicated in its press release, the
Final Rule provides "appropriate discretion and flexibility to
account for variations in school size, student populations and
administrative structures."
Shipman has set up a Title IX Resource Center in
order to allow K-12 public schools to easily access information
about Title IX, including links to upcoming training sessions and
access to the latest information and guidance as it is released,
all in one location.
We invite you to bookmark the page: https://www.shipmangoodwin.com/titleIX
and visit for regular updates. For your convenience, there is also
a button in the sidebar of this blog that takes you directly to the
Resource Center.
