Presenter outlines Title IX Level‑One audit; board considers deeper review
Summary
Jennifer Powell presented a Title IX Level‑One audit showing participation statistics by gender and said the district is in compliance; the board discussed whether to request a more detailed Level‑Two audit estimated at about $9,000.
Jennifer Powell, representing Eichelbaum Wardell, presented a district‑initiated Title IX Level‑One audit during the Oct. 21 Aquilla ISD School Board meeting. Powell said the Level‑One review examined participation statistics by gender and concluded the district "is in compliance with OCP." Powell also stated, "This audit was $1,000." Powell described a Level‑Two audit as a more detailed, interview‑based review that would examine coaching, expenses and participant experiences.
Board members discussed whether to request a Level‑Two audit. Powell told the board a Level‑Two review would be billed hourly and she estimated the cost at approximately $9,000; an exact total was not provided. No formal motion to commission a Level‑Two audit was recorded during the meeting. The discussion focused on whether additional interviews and historical trend analysis were necessary to assess comparability of experience between boys’ and girls’ athletics.
The presentation was made during the regular meeting at the Aquilla Alumni Center; the board did not take a formal vote to pursue the more extensive audit on Oct. 21.
