Bill > HR4342

This bill aims to advance gender equity in education in the United States by supporting educational entities in fully implementing Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities. The bill establishes an Office for Gender Equity within the Department of Education to provide coordination, training, technical assistance, and support for Title IX coordinators and allies. It also authorizes grants to eligible entities, such as state and local educational agencies and institutions of higher education, to implement programs and activities focused on reducing and preventing sex discrimination across all areas of education. Additionally, the bill requires research and development into best practices for fully implementing Title IX and addressing issues like sex stereotyping, sexual harassment and violence, and equity for students facing discrimination based on multiple characteristics.
