Title IX
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 ("Title IX") is a federal law intended to ensure sex and gender equality and protect students against sexual harassment in all school programs and activities, including extracurricular, athletic and other programs, that occur at school, on the school bus, or off campus during school-sponsored events.
The East Troy Community School District is committed to providing an environment where every student feels supported, welcomed and respected and as such shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of sex in any of its curricular, career and technical education, co-curricular, student services, recreational or other programs or activities, or in admission or access to any programs or activities offered by the District. It is the District’s policy to protect all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The complainant may report the alleged sexual harassment or sexual violence to any principal, teacher, counselor, social worker or other District employee who shall be responsible for forwarding the complaint to the District’s Title IX Coordinator for review and action as necessary. Complaints can be made orally or in writing.

As required by the federal Title IX regulations, the District has established a formal grievance process for investigating and resolving “formal complaints” of “sexual harassment,” as those terms are defined in the regulations.
An individual who is alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment under the federal Title IX regulations (i.e., a Title IX “complainant”), or a parent or guardian who has a legal right to act on behalf of such an individual, may file a formal complaint of sexual harassment. No Title IX complainant is obligated to file a formal complaint, but a qualifying formal complaint is necessary for the District to start an investigation using the District’s formal Title IX grievance process.
Complainants are expected to file formal complaints of sexual harassment with the District Title IX Coordinator by submitting a document or electronic submission in person, by U.S. mail to Andy Van Sistine, 2040 Beulah Ave, East Troy, WI 53120, or by electronic mail to vanand@easttroy.k12.wi.us.
