V.A.1. Consider, discuss, and take action to approve final reading of Title IX Policy Updates and appoint Dr. Gibbons and Mrs. Vrba as Title IX Coordinators for the 2020-21 school year.
Rationale:
Attached below is communication and policy updates regarding federal legislative requirements. There are some significant changes so please take time to review the attached policies. The biggest change is with the identification of three levels of responsibility. In the past, the superintendent served as the Title IX Coordinator. After visiting with our school legal council, we agreed upon a recommendation of a male and female coordinators. When looking at who would be in a position with least conflict, we also agreed that Dr. Gibbons does no evaluation of staff and Mrs. Vrba as special education director would be the logical choices for these two coordinators. This way our district has two people serve as coordinators for the district. If appointed, we will need to get these two trained as soon as possible. Level II (investigator) and Level III (Decider) can be modified depending on the complaint to ensure there is no conflict. If no conflict, we recommend the student services director, Dr. Lefdal serve as the lead investigator, and superintendent, Dr. Hoesing to work with our school legal council on a resolution or hearing if necessary. See attached communication and policy updates.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to approve final reading of new and amended Title IX Policies as presented and appoint Dr. Gibbons and Mrs. Vrba as Title IX Coordinators for the 2020-21 school year. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
