Marion Center board votes to adopt Title IX regulations effective Aug. 1, 2024; policy revisions fail on first reading
Summary
The board voted 4–2 to comply with Title IX regulations effective Aug. 1, 2024, but a separate first reading of many related policy changes failed on a 3–3 vote during the same meeting.
On Sept. 23 the Marion Center Area School Board recorded two linked but distinct actions on Title IX and related policies. The board voted to "comply and implement all requirements in the Title IX regulations made effective Aug. 1, 2024," with a recorded vote of Aye: 4, Nay: 2, Absent: 3.
Separately, a first reading proposing changes to multiple policies — including Policy 103 (Discrimination/Harassment affecting students), Title IX complaint and grievance procedures, Policy 104 (Discrimination/Harassment affecting staff), Policy 247 (Hazing), Policy 249 (Bullying/Cyberbullying), Policy 252 (Dating Violence), and several other policies and attachments — was considered and failed on a tied recorded vote (Aye: 3, Nay: 3, Absent: 3). The minutes do not record specific amendments or the detailed text under consideration; the board will need to revisit policy language if it wants to align written district policy with the acknowledged Title IX regulatory requirements.
