About this Comprehensive Training Series
Working in collaboration with North Country Education Services, Drummond Woodsum will conduct this comprehensive three-part Title IX training for personnel employed by School Administrative Units 3, 7, 9, 20, 23, 35, 36, 58, 68, 77 & 84. The training will cover the essential information that Title IX Coordinators, Human Rights Officers and other school personnel need to know in order to confidently implement the new Title IX regulations and other nondiscrimination laws, and to conduct effective investigations.
Major changes to the Title IX regulations went into effect on August 14, 2020 and drastically alter school district obligations in addressing incidents of sexual harassment. Not only does every school system need to ensure its staff are ready for these changes, but the new rules require that Title IX Coordinators and school administrators involved in investigating, deciding, or resolving sexual harassment complaints receive specific training on the rules and relevant topics. This is the training your district and administrators need to comply with the new rules!
