Sequoia District Nondiscrimination Policy and Title IX Prohibition of Sex Discrimination

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), implemented at 34 C.F.R. § 106 et seq., provides that no person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any academic, extracurricular, research, occupational training, or other education program or activity operated by an entity, including a K-12 school district, that receives federal financial assistance. Sex discrimination includes discrimination based on sex stereotypes; sex characteristics; pregnancy or related conditions; parental, family or marital status; sexual orientation, and/or gender identity. (34 C.F.R. §§ 106.10; 106.20.)

In compliance with Title IX, the Sequoia Union High School District (“District”) prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates, including but not limited to student programs and/or activities and employment.
