WHEREAS the department of health, education, and welfare has published an implementing regulation for Title IX of the education amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally-assisted education programs, and

WHEREAS specifically, Title IX states:

WHEREAS the published regulation, effective July 21, 1975, describes how Title IX will be enforced and how it applies to educational institutions, and

WHEREAS the law underlying the regulation is based on the sound premise that, in a knowledge-based society, equal opportunity in education is fundamental to equality in all other forms of endeavor, and

WHEREAS the regulation requires those in education use a searching self-examination to identify any discriminatory policies or practices within their institutions and to take whatever remedial action is needed; therefore, be it

RESOLVED that the Board of Education of the Perry Local School District hereby does state its intention to assure compliance to the best of its ability with the administrative guidelines set forth in Title IX implementing the education amendments of 1972, and as affected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED that for at least three (3) years following our self-evaluation, records be maintained describing the modification of policies and practices made and remedial steps taken, and that the Superintendent be named as Coordinator of the Title IX Compliance Efforts.
