The OCR has made it clear it reads Title IX to equally apply to primary and secondary schools as it does at the collegiate level. Given the OCR’s increased interest in Title IX compliance at the high school level, SLRMA is pleased to offer its Self-Audit Checklist for School Compliance with Title IX for Athletic Programs. SLRMA’s Self-Audit Checklist will help your school district’s athletic programs comply with Title IX and help avoid fines and penalties for “unsportsmanlike conduct" failing to offer equal opportunities to boys and girls who play high school sports.
Although most people are familiar with Title IX at the collegiate level, it applies to any school that receives federal funds, including public K-12. School districts violating Title IX can be subject to regulatory enforcement action and possibly costly private civil suits for damages. To help your school, SLRMA is pleased to offer the Self-Audit Checklist for School Compliance with Title IX for Athletics Programs to help your school make the right call.
