Guidance, policy updates and actionable resources for schools & districts focused on the incoming Title IX regulations from the U.S. Department of Education.

Background

On April 19, the U.S. The U.S. Department of Education released revisions to Title IX. The amended Title IX regulations, which will be effective on August 1, 2024, make several important changes to the processes K-12 schools use to address reports of sex-based discrimination, including harassment and retaliation, and to protections for LGBTQ+ students, employees, and parents. The rules now cover not just sexual harassment but also all types of sex-based harassment and discrimination. You can check out our summary of the changes here.

AASA will also be hosting a webinar for superintendents on the new regulations and how to approach policies and trainings to ensure compliance on May 6. You can register for the webinar here.

AASA members that are looking for advice on the best way to communicate about the new Title IX rules to their school community are encouraged to login to download more exclusive Member resources.

AASA's Position & Priorities

AASA’s mission is to advocate for equitable access for all students to the highest quality public education and to develop and support school system leaders. The guiding principle of AASA’s Legislative Agenda stems from the important role the federal government stands to play in creating equitable learning opportunities for all students. Our legislative agenda adopted annually by our Governing Board and Executive Committee states that AASA supports federal policy that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including against transgender, intersex, and nonbinary students. As the stated goal of the proposed regulation is to prohibit discrimination, AASA generally supports the proposed regulation.
