Title IX

  • Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. It 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.” This law applies to all public schools, including Hallsville ISD, and protects students, staff, and employees from sex-based discrimination.

    Title IX covers a wide range of issues, including gender equity in athletics, access to educational programs, protection from sexual harassment and assault, and equal opportunities in the classroom. Schools must take immediate and appropriate action when a violation is reported. Hallsville ISD is committed to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students and staff.

    Anyone who believes they have experienced or witnessed a Title IX violation is encouraged to report the incident to the district’s Title IX Coordinator. For more information on your rights under Title IX or to access support resources, please contact the Hallsville ISD Title IX office or visit our Title IX information page.
  • The District prohibits discrimination, including harassment, against any student. Discrimination is defined as treating a student or group of students differently from similarly situated students on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law. One type of harassment this policy prohibits is dating violence, as defined below. Retaliation against anyone exercising their rights under this policy is a violation of District policy and is prohibited.
     
    Inquiries about the application of Title IX may be referred to the district’s Title IX coordinator, to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights of the Department of Education, or both. The district designates and authorizes the following employee as the Title IX coordinator to address concerns or inquiries regarding discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment: Amy Whittle, district Title IX Coordinator, 311 Willow St, Hallsville TX., 75650, awhittle@hisd.com , 903-668-5990, ext. 5028. Reports can be made at any time and by any person, including during non-business hours, by mail, e-mail, or phone. During district business hours, reports may also be in person.
