Title IX: Prohibiting Sex-Based Discrimination

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in all educational programs and activities, including athletic programs. No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity operated by MCUSD or MCOE. Title IX protects all participants in MCUSD’s and MCOE's educational programs and activities, including students, parents, employees, and job applicants. MCUSD/MCOE does not discriminate on the basis of sex. Discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Our School District and County Office of Education and the Title IX Coordinator are aware of and acknowledge the new Title IX regulations released on May 6, 2020 and effective as of August 14, 2020. We continually review and update our Title IX policy and practices, which includes the process of hearing from our stake-holders in order to implement a fair, thorough and impartial Title IX complaint process and COE response. As always, if you want to report a sexual harassment incident, please reach out to our Title IX Coordinator, Jeff Aranguena, at:
