Title IX

Stamford Public Schools recognizes that pursuant to Title IX "no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. The District is committed to ensuring our schools and workplaces are free of sex discrimination/harassment.  You can find information on Title IX and its implementation, the grievance procedure, and procedures for investigations, dismissals and appeals in the Board of Education Policies and regulations (note: the Board of Education’s Title IX Policy and Regulation are numbered 4000.1/5145.44 and 4000.1R/4154.44R).  Please reference Board of Education Policies for information on the Stamford Board of Education’s grievance process including how to report or file a complaint of sexual discrimination and/or sexual harassment.If you have any questions you may contact the Title IX Coordinator for your School (each school Principal is the Title IX Coordinator for that location) or one of the Title IX Coordinators for the District.  The Title IX Coordinators for the District are:
