Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

What a Title IX coordinator actually has to do.

The coordinator role is not honorary — federal regulations require the coordinator to coordinate the institution's compliance efforts, monitor outcomes, identify patterns, and ensure that grievance procedures are followed. Naming someone without giving them authority or time is a finding waiting to happen.

Why It Matters

OCR investigations frequently cite "coordinator in name only" as systemic non-compliance, escalating individual incidents into institution-wide enforcement. The coordinator function is a litigation fingerprint.

3.2

Charter renewal happens in years three and four, not year five.

Most charter authorizers begin gathering renewal evidence 18-24 months before the formal renewal vote — meaning a school in a 5-year cycle is being evaluated on years three and four academic data, not year five. Schools that ramp interventions in year five are improving on data the authorizer never sees.

Why It Matters

Renewal denials are typically locked in by data the school never realized was being counted. The performance ramp has to align with the lookback window.

3.3

Three fiduciary duties that nonprofit boards routinely confuse.

Board members owe duties of care (informed decision-making), loyalty (no self-dealing), and obedience (consistent with the mission). The duties are distinct: a member can satisfy care while violating loyalty, or vice versa. Most board mistakes involve loyalty (related-party transactions without disclosure).

Why It Matters

State attorneys general can pursue board members personally for breaches; D&O insurance typically covers care violations but excludes intentional loyalty breaches. Confusing the duties leaves members exposed without realizing it.
