Title 9: Nondiscrimination
What is Title 9?
Title IX is a law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding, including the Oxford School District. Title IX addresses various issues including sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Schools are required to take steps to make sure everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported.
A big part of that is making sure schools are safe places to learn and grow. At Oxford School District, we are committed to creating a positive and secure environment for every student.
Sometimes, people may go through experiences that make them feel confused, uncomfortable, or scared. These situations can sometimes involve things like sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking—even from people we know or trust. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s important to speak up.
The good news is you are not alone. There are caring adults and resources at school who are here to listen, help, and make sure you are safe. Whether you're a student or a staff member, we’re all working together to make our schools safe and supportive for everyone.
