Title IX Compliance: A Shared Responsibility

Title IX compliance is a shared responsibility of every member of Memphis ISD. Title IX protects students, employees and applicants for employment, and other persons from all forms of sex discrimination, including discrimination based on gender identity or failure to address stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity. All students (as well as other persons) at institutions/districts that receive federal funds are protected by Title IX—regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, race, or national origin—in all aspects of a recipient’s educational programs and activities (OCR Title IX Resource Guide).

Memphis ISD believes in treating all students and employees with dignity and respect therefore we take these matters seriously. It is the responsibility of all staff, teachers, and administrators to report complaints of sexual harassment, sexual assault and/or any other forms of sexual misconduct that they receive or of which they may become aware by immediately contacting the Title IX Coordinator, Victoria Davis at 806-259-5900 Ext. 1401 or vdavis@memphisisd.net.

Memphis ISD takes prompt action on actual knowledge; therefore, the following reporting and grievance process procedures have been adopted. Please see FFH (LEGAL).
