Trustee asks for Title IX audit and inventory of girls' sports across district
Summary
A trustee requested a districtwide inventory of athletic opportunities from elementary through high school and a Title IX audit to assess options for female athletes; the superintendent said the request will be placed on a future agenda.
A trustee asked the Dearborn City School District Board of Education for a districtwide review of athletic offerings and a Title IX audit to clarify opportunities for female students at the elementary, middle and high school levels.
"I wanted to look into our female sports, but since we have baseball here as well, just to kind of get an overview of what are all of the sports options for our students from elementary, middle school, and high school. And I believe a Title IX, audit to see what those options are for our female students as well," the trustee said during the board business portion of the meeting.
Superintendent (name not specified) acknowledged the request and indicated staff will place the item on a future agenda and provide information in board briefs as appropriate. The request was made as part of a broader invitation for trustees to submit requests for future meetings.
The trustee framed the request as a way to ensure compliance and equity in offerings; the board did not take action on the item at the meeting but agreed to follow up.
