Board told to revert local Title IX language to align with U.S. Education Department revisions
Summary
Staff said the district will revert local Title IX policy language to prior wording and recommended adopting revisions from the North Carolina School Boards Association packet that align with U.S. Department of Education requirements.
On June 3, district staff briefed the Carteret County Board of Education on recommended changes to local Title IX policies drawn from the spring 2025 North Carolina School Boards Association update packet.
Staff presenter said the district intends to revert local Title IX language to the version that preceded recent administration‑level revisions and to adopt federally required updates. The presentation noted that local edits had been made for Carteret County purposes and that the packet came from the North Carolina School Boards Association.
Why it matters: Title IX governs discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs that receive federal funding; alignment with U.S. Department of Education requirements is a compliance action that can affect grievance procedures and staff responsibilities.
Details presented: staff said the packet included the Title IX revisions required by the U.S. Department of Education and that local attorney/staff (identified in the meeting as Wifford) reviewed and made limited local edits. The presenter offered to answer questions and indicated these are the policies the district will present for adoption.
No formal vote or motion to adopt Title IX language was recorded in the meeting minutes provided; the item was introduced for board consideration and further action.
