Title IX

Title IX is a federal law that states, “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 under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. (Title IX (20 U.S.C. § 1681))

Non-Discrimination Statement

Granite School District (“District”) endeavors to maintain safe and supportive learning and working environments where all students and employees can be successful. Federal and Utah State statutes and regulations mandate and provide authority to school districts to prohibit conduct that violates individuals’ civil rights. As such, the District prohibits discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment), and retaliation on the basis of race, color, sex, pregnancy, religion, national origin, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally protected classification in all educational programs, activities, admissions, access, treatment, or employment practices and provides equal access to scouting groups and other designated youth groups.

The District recognizes that complaints under this policy may include multiple forms of discrimination and harassment as well as violations of other District policies; may involve various combinations of students, employees, and other members of the District or school community; and may require the simultaneous attention of multiple District departments. Accordingly, all District departments will share information, combine efforts, and otherwise collaborate to the maximum extent permitted by law and consistent with other applicable District policies to provide uniform, consistent, efficient, and effective responses to all reports of discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation.
