Title IX

Title IX and Gender-Based Harassment Resources

Hood River County School District is committed to eliminating sexual harassment. Sexual harassment will not be tolerated in the district. All students, staff members and other persons are entitled to learn and work in an environment that is free of harassment. All staff members, students and third parties are subject to this policy. Any person may report sexual harassment. The district processes complaints or reports of sexual harassment under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 342.700 et. al. and federal Title IX laws found in Title 34 C.F.R. Part 106. Individual complaints may require both of these procedures, and may involve additional complaint procedures. 

All public schools receiving any federal funds must comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, including Hood River County School District. A school has a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to a claim of sexual harassment or sexual violence. Title IX requires schools to adopt and publish grievance procedures for students to file complaints of sex discrimination, including complaints of sexual harassment or sexual violence. Complaints of unlawful discrimination and harassment based on gender or sex may be made at any time and in any manner: in person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail. Complaints may be brought to any staff member, however if a student wishes to make a formal complaint those should be brought to their building principal or the District’s Title IX Coordinator. Complaints will be promptly investigated. For more information regarding the District’s Sexual Harassment policy and complaint process, please refer to board policy JBA/GBN.

The Oregon Department of Education provided these Title IX training materials to Hood River County School District.
