2019 Title IX Task Force – Invitation to apply

The Office of Student Civil Rights is seeking applications for the 2019 Title IX Task Force. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program or activity. School Board Policy 3208 and Superintendent Procedure 3208SP provide the framework for district response.

3208SP establishes a periodic review of the use and efficacy of policy and procedure. Thus, we are convening a task force to consist of district staff, volunteers, students, and parents. The specific objective of the task force are detailed in the task force charter.

Applications are due by November 30, 2018 at 5 p.m. Invited task force appointees will be notified by December 10, 2018. Task force members should anticipate meeting one or two weekdays per month from January 2019 through January 2020. The location and meeting dates will be determined by the task force participants.

To learn more or to apply, please visit 2019 Title IX Task Force webpage. Please share this information with your staff and PTSAs.

If you have questions, contact Warner Santiago, District Title IX Coordinator, 252-0367 or by email, title.ix@seattleschools.org.
