NSBA Conference: Sexual Violence and Schools: Navigating Title IX in 2015
Summary
Title IX and schools' responses to sexual violence are among the hottest and most complex topics in education today. Through this interactive session, board members and administrators will understand how to respond to a student complaint of sexual assault in compliance with recent federal guidance and be able to draft policies and procedures that comply with Title IX and OCR standards. Everyone will receive a "Title IX Toolkit" to bring back to their schools.

Thoughts
I had a hard time with this one. I understand the legalities involved for a school system, but my morality, ethics and compassion always want to outweigh the legalities. Interesting information.
