What Happens Next
After a report is received, the school and/or Title IX Coordinator will:
- Reach out to the individual affected by the alleged misconduct
- Provide supportive measures
- Explain the grievance process
- Offer the opportunity to file a formal complaint if the behavior meets the Title IX definition of sexual harassment
If a formal complaint is filed, the district will take appropriate steps to investigate. Once the investigation is complete, the outcome will be shared with all parties involved.

Title IX
