The following information is provided in response to 34 C.F.R. Part 106.8 of the 2020 Title IX Regulations, mandating notice of a nondiscrimination policy and adoption and publication of grievance procedures that provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of student and employee complaints.

In accordance with Title IX, the District does not, and is required not to, discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities. The requirement not to discriminate extends to employment.

However, the district does not discriminate on the basis of sex in admissions or transfer requests.

The District has designated and authorized the following employee as the Title IX Coordinator to address concerns or inquiries regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and gender-based harassment:

Name: Skip Baskerville

Email: Title IX coordinator (skip.baskerville@birdvilleschools.net)
Telephone: (817) 547-5700
 

Any person can report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, in person, by mail, telephone, email, or any other means, at any time, that results in the Title IX coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report.

During district business hours, reports may also be made in person to the Title IX Coordinator or their designee.
