Bill > SB91

This bill amends Delaware's education code to establish comprehensive Title IX (a federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in educational institutions) requirements for schools receiving federal funding. The bill mandates that schools create a dedicated webpage with detailed information about Title IX, including the specific roles of Title IX administrators (coordinator, investigator, and decision-maker), contact information for the Title IX coordinator, a link to the school's Title IX policy, and clear instructions for filing discrimination complaints. Schools must also provide a link to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights FAQ page and explain supportive measures available to students, staff, and faculty who experience sex-based discrimination or harassment. Additionally, the bill requires Title IX coordinators to send an annual written reminder to school staff and faculty about the reporting process for sex-based discrimination. The primary goal of this legislation is to ensure transparency, accessibility, and support for individuals who may experience sex-based discrimination in educational settings, thereby promoting a safer and more equitable learning environment.
