Title IX
Title IX Sex Nondiscrimination at Brooklyn Center Community Schools
As required by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 and its implementing regulations, Brooklyn Center Community Schools (BCCS) does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs or activities. This requirement not to discriminate extends to both admission and employment.
The school district is dedicated to maintaining an education and work environment free from any form of sex-based discrimination, including sexual harassment. BCCS prohibits sexual harassment within its programs and will respond promptly and effectively to any reports of such conduct in a manner that is not deliberately indifferent.

Our Grievance Process
BCCS has established a formal grievance process to address allegations of sexual harassment. Key components include:
- Supportive Measures: Individualized services (such as counseling or schedule modifications) are available to both complainants and respondents to ensure equal educational access and safety, regardless of whether a formal complaint is filed.
- Formal Complaints: A written document filed by a victim or signed by the Coordinator initiates a formal investigation.
- Equitable Treatment: The district treats both parties equitably throughout the process, presuming the respondent is not responsible until a final determination is made.
- Impartiality: All Title IX Personnel are trained to serve impartially and without bias.
