Board schedules Title IX work session as members flag potential federal funding impact
Summary
Board members agreed to a Title IX work session and canvassing meeting after discussing federal Title IX litigation and possible impacts on district federal funding; one board member urged sending a letter supporting protection of girls' sports.
The Alexandria Public School District board discussed Title IX implications and agreed to further conversation at a planned work session tied to a canvassing meeting on Nov. 10.
Superintendent Stanson distributed a Minnesota Department of Education handout about potential federal funding impacts related to ongoing Title IX litigation. A board member asked the board to consider sending a letter in support of efforts to "protect girls' sports" and referenced a 'Title 9 Minnesota' website that has been used by other districts. Another board member noted that roughly 6.4% of the district’s budget is affected by federal funds, highlighting why noncompliance could have fiscal consequences for the district.
Members agreed to place Title IX on an upcoming work session agenda to review federal findings and state/federal expectations; administration said it will propose a November work session date and related canvassing meeting logistics for the capital projects levy. The discussion did not produce a formal resolution at the meeting — board members framed it as preparatory work and advocacy options would be taken up at the work session.
