Background & Context

2 stories

2.1

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.

2.2

The IEP procedural safeguards parents most often waive accidentally.

Federal IDEA gives parents specific rights — to consent or refuse evaluations, to participate in placement decisions, to request independent educational evaluations at district expense — that are routinely waived by signing a standard IEP without raising objections. Once signed, undoing a placement decision is procedurally heavy.

Why It Matters

Districts have neither the obligation nor the resources to re-explain rights at every meeting; the procedural-safeguards notice is delivered annually and that satisfies the legal requirement. Parents who do not know the rights cannot exercise them.
