The Ionia County ISD Board voted unanimously on Sept. 11 to adopt Title IX grievance procedures as presented in administrative guidelines prepared by the law firm Clark Hill. Trustee Brian Talbot moved to approve the procedures for complaints of sex discrimination occurring on or after Aug. 1, 2024 and grievance procedures for complaints of sexual harassment occurring on or before July 31, 2024; Secretary Amber Rood supported the motion and a roll‑call vote approved it without opposition.
