TITLE IX

Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, which includes sexual harassment and sexual violence, under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding, which includes BPHS, BPMS, BPES, and LBES. If you feel you have a complaint related to Title IX non-compliance, please contact Charles Jenks, SCSD#9 Title IX Coordinator at (307) 276-3322, cjenks@sublette9.org or PO Box 769, Big Piney, WY 83113 (Coordinator beginning 7/1/22). Forms will be made available in the complainant's/reporter’s native language.

Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) applies to the programs and activities of a state education agency (SEA), local education agency (LEA), or other recipient of funds under any program funded by the U.S. Department of Education. It governs the administration to students of a survey, analysis, or evaluation that concerns one or more of the following eight protected areas:

political affiliations or beliefs of the student or the student’s parent;
mental or psychological problems of the student or the student’s family;
sex behavior or attitudes;
illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior;
critical appraisals of other individuals with whom respondents have close family relationships;
legally recognized privileged or analogous relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians, and ministers;
religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; or
income (other than that required by law to determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such program).

PPRA also concerns marketing surveys and other areas of student privacy, parental access to information, and the administration of certain physical examinations to minors. The rights under PPRA transfer from the parents to a student who is 18 years old or an emancipated minor under state law.
