Guidance, policy updates and actionable resources for schools & districts focused on the incoming Title IX regulations from the U.S. Department of Education.

Background

On April 19, the U.S. The U.S. Department of Education released revisions to Title IX. The amended Title IX regulations, which will be effective on August 1, 2024, make several important changes to the processes K-12 schools use to address reports of sex-based discrimination, including harassment and retaliation, and to protections for LGBTQ+ students, employees, and parents. The rules now cover not just sexual harassment but also all types of sex-based harassment and discrimination. You can check out our summary of the changes here.

In partnership with Thompson & Horton LLP, we've also released our Superintendent's Guide to the 2024 Title IX Rules and the comprehensive report The 2024 Title IX Guidebook for K-12 Schools to ensure your district is prepared for implementation.

AASA's Position & Priorities

AASA’s mission is to advocate for equitable access for all students to the highest quality public education and to develop and support school system leaders. The guiding principle of AASA’s Legislative Agenda stems from the important role the federal government stands to play in creating equitable learning opportunities for all students. Our legislative agenda adopted annually by our Governing Board and Executive Committee states that AASA supports federal policy that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including against transgender, intersex, and nonbinary students. As the stated goal of the proposed regulation is to prohibit discrimination, AASA generally supports the proposed regulation.
