Title IX

Title IX is a federal law that requires prompt and effective response to reports of sexual misconduct that occur within an educational program or activity. Sexual misconduct may take many forms, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, or stalking, along with other forms of sex or gender-based misconduct or discrimination.

Killingly Public Schools encourages all staff and students to report Title IX incidents and is committed to addressing these matters promptly.

Posting Regarding Title IX Compliance 

The following information is provided in response to 34 C.F.R. Part 106.8 of the 2020 Title IX Regulations, mandating notice of a nondiscrimination policy and adoption and publication of grievance procedures that provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of student and employee complaints.

In accordance with Title IX, the district does not, and is required not to, discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities. The requirement not to discriminate extends to employment. As a school district serving students in kindergarten through grade 12, the district is not subject to provisions in Title IX Regulations (Subpart C) prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in admissions and recruitment. However, the district does not discriminate on the basis of sex in admissions or transfer requests.

The district has designated and authorized the following employee as the Title IX Coordinator to address concerns or inquiries regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and gender-based harassment:
