Superintendent: Forest Hills will revert to 2020 Title IX rules after court order; ORS guidance and finance updates reported
Summary
Superintendent Kirby told the board the 2024 Title IX regulations have been vacated by court order and the district will revert to 2020 rules; he also updated the board on MASA conference learnings, safety training, CREC projections, ORS guidance about returned retirement funds, and the district's non‑impacted status in the PowerSchool breach.
Superintendent Kirby reported that a court order vacated the U.S. Department of Education’s 2024 Title IX regulations and that Forest Hills Public Schools will revert to the 2020 Title IX regulations; he said policy changes will be forthcoming. Kirby framed this as a legal and administrative update requiring staff follow‑up.
Kirby also summarized other items: attendance at the Michigan Association of School Administrators mid‑winter conference, emphasis on safety and security in recent professional learning, a legislative update, and that the district was not impacted by the recent PowerSchool data breach. He reported that Office of Retirement Services guidance indicates funds will be returned to impacted employees by the end of February 2025. Kirby noted the district uses a −20°F sustained windchill threshold when considering school cancellations.
