What is my school responsible for?
The school is responsible for:As a student, whom can I talk to if I feel I'm being harassed?
Go directly to your Title IX Coordinator - to fully protect your rights, you must ultimately report it to them. If you don't know who that is, talk to a favorite teacher or other staff person at the school.
Gender Equity in School Sports
What is Title IX?
Title IX is the federal law that prohibits schools from treating students differently simply because of their gender.
My school spends more money on the boys' programs than the girls' programs. Is this a Title IX violation?
Title IX does not require that schools spend the same amount of money on boys' and girls' sports. Instead, schools should show the reasons for this imbalance.
