Orlando Science Charter School East Campus - Uncategorised

Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law, enacted in 1972, which states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
On May 6, 2020, the United States Department of Education released its final rule under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The final rule requires the schools to follow a specific Title IX Grievance Process while investigating allegations of sexual misconduct. The Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education considers sexual misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual assault and intimate partner violence) to be a form of sexual discrimination and requires the schools to take immediate and effective steps to respond to sexual misconduct.
For a Title IX investigation to apply, the incident must meet the definition of sexual harassment and it must have occurred in an education program or activity in which the school has substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the harassment occurred.
Please contact the parent facilitator or the school’s dean of students for your concerns.
