What is the role of the Title IX Coordinator within DCPS?

DC Public School’s Title IX coordinator is responsible for ensuring compliance with all Title IX obligations.

What does this mean for me and my school?

The Title IX Coordinator is one of the many persons at DCPS who helps to maintain a safe, sexual harassment/sex discrimination-free school environment. This person is responsible for coordinating the investigation and resolution of reported claims of sexual misconduct pursuant to Title IX. This may include conducting interviews of persons related to the matter, providing supports to parties involved in the matter, issuing a finding and ensuring appropriate remedies are identified to prevent the recurrence of sexual harassment/misconduct and address harmful effects.
