Title IX

Welcome to the web-based interface that focuses on the investigations and ultimate determinations of Sexual Harassment (often referred to as Title IX).  The criteria and policies set forth by CPSB are reviewed in the following paragraphs.  All policies align with state and federal guidelines.

The Calcasieu Parish School Board recognizes that peer sexual harassment is a form of prohibited discrimination and can contribute to unacceptable work and educational environments. The Board, therefore, will not tolerate sexual harassment by any student toward another student.
 

Every school will educate its student population and staff concerning the Board’s intolerance of such harassment and shall require students and staff members to report any such behavior to the school administrator immediately.  Harassment policy information shall be disseminated to the student population through the current school year’s Student Code of Conduct.
 

Formal procedures for student-to-student sexual harassment and other Title IX complaints can be found in CPSB’s Policy JCED.  A Title IX Sexual Harassment investigation must be conducted, completed, and sexual harassment determined by district-level personnel before disciplinary consequences are delivered for sexual harassment.
 

Questions about the protocols, timelines, and/or procedures for the Title IX investigative process can be directed to the Title IX Administrative Coordinator or the Title IX Assistant.  The contact information for both individuals is listed below.
