SUBJECT: New Guidance on Title IX
Today, the U. S. Department of Education released new guidance on Title IX, Part E, Uniform Provisions, Subpart 1-Private Schools: Equitable Services to Eligible Private School Students, Teachers, and Other Educational Personnel. The guidance will assist local and State educational agencies (LEAs/SEAs) and other entities receiving Federal education funds in fulfilling their obligations to provide equitable services to eligible private school students, teachers, and other educational personnel. The guidance also provides valuable information for private school administrators as they work with their LEAs to ensure equitable participation for their students and teachers in the educational programs governed by Title IX.
Public and private school officials are encouraged to use this guidance for
programs covered under Title IX, Part E, Subpart 1, in conjunction with
applicable ESEA regulations and other appropriate program guidance. The guidance includes the most frequently
asked questions concerning equitable participation as well as other resources
to assist LEAs, SEAs and
other entities in effective implementation.
