This guidebook is designed to help local districts determine how well they comply with the spirit of the Title IX requirements against sex discrimination, which in turn could aid in compliance with the letter of the law. The document's first section presents samples of required antidiscrimination policy statements issued by two districts. The second section concentrates on the mandated self-evaluation process, urging formation of local advisory committees and itemizing the basic requirements of the compliance process. The third and major section breaks down Title IX regulations against discrimination into individual rules and provides a checklist to use to test local compliance. These rules cover admissions, access to course offerings, counseling, treatment of students, employment, and athletics. The document concludes with a substantial supplementary checklist provided in the same format by the Office of Civil Rights for the purpose of providing further clarification of Title IX's intentions.
