Overview
Welcome to the Title IX page of our District website, dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful educational environment for all students and staff. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
We are committed to upholding the principles of Title IX, ensuring that everyone in our school community has equal access to educational opportunities, free from discrimination based on sex or gender. Our District recognizes the importance of maintaining an environment that promotes fairness, dignity, and respect for all individuals.
On this page, you will find valuable information, resources, and reporting procedures related to Title IX. We take reports of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, and other forms of misconduct, seriously. Our goal is to provide a responsive and supportive process for addressing concerns, investigating allegations, and taking appropriate remedial actions when necessary.
We believe in the power of education, awareness, and prevention to create a culture that rejects all forms of sex-based discrimination. Through training, awareness campaigns, and proactive measures, we strive to educate our students, staff, and community about their rights and responsibilities under Title IX.
Our commitment extends to promoting gender equity in all aspects of education, including participation in sports, extracurricular activities, and access to resources. We work diligently to ensure that our policies and practices align with the requirements of Title IX, promoting equal opportunities and creating an environment that values diversity and inclusivity.
We encourage you to explore the resources provided on this page, familiarize yourself with your rights and responsibilities, and report any concerns related to sex discrimination promptly. By working together, we can create a learning environment that upholds the principles of Title IX and fosters a sense of safety, fairness, and respect for all members of our school community.
The Windber Area School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities and provides equal access to all groups.
