Franczek partner Jackie Gharapour Wernz presented a Basic Title IX Training for Title IX Coordinators for Illinois school districts that met basic training requirements for Title IX Coordinators and other administrators.

 

The new Title IX regulations, effective August 14, 2020, require training of Title IX Team members (Title IX Coordinators, investigators, decisionmakers, and informal resolution facilitators) in K-12 schools. Franczek P.C.’s training package allows compliance for the entire Title IX Team of a school or district for one low flat fee.

 

However, we understand the hardship that the Title IX requirements place on schools and districts during this time. We recognize that many school districts and schools will not be able to train their entire Title IX Teams before August 14.

 

This training explained how school districts and systems that have not completed basic Title IX training for their entire Title IX Team by August 14 can nonetheless process complaints within the requirements of the regulations until comprehensive training is completed.

 

For Illinois PRESS policy subscribers, this training also addressed policy updates to meet the Department of Education’s requirement that Title IX Team members be trained on the use of their own policies. School districts that do not subscribe to PRESS can still benefit but should contact us to discuss options for supplemental training on school policies.
