Board discusses reverting Title IX rule changes and how bullying complaints will be handled
Summary
During a second-reading PLS update, staff told the board a federal judge struck down the 2024 Title IX regulatory change and recommended returning to the pre-2024 framework; staff said that distinction affects whether an allegation is handled through Title IX procedures or the district’s bullying/harassment policy.
S4 introduced the PLS update for second reading and invited questions. Board members asked for clarification about how changes to the Title IX regulatory framework affect definitions and complaint processes.
A staff member (S5) explained that a federal judge struck down the 2024 Title IX rule change and the school association recommended reverting to pre-2024 procedures. S5 said "the regulations now are back to 2020," clarifying staff’s view that the district’s definitions of bullying and harassment remain unchanged but that the procedural path (Title IX process versus district bullying/harassment policy) differs depending on whether a complaint meets the Title IX standard.
