What:
Title IX: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Title IX has been in schools since 1972. It's best known for breaking down barriers in sports for women and girls. It also opens the door for girls to pursue math and science. It requires fair treatment. It protects students from bullying and sexual harassment. And it does much more. This two-day workshop examines what Title IX is and what it encompasses. From sexual harassment to bullying will be among the topics covered . . . Including athletics, academic achievement, discipline, investigation, policies, procedures, and law suits. This is an excellent opportunity for each school and district to receive training on their Title IX requirements.

Nearly one-sixth of teens who own cell phones have received nude or nearly nude images via text message from someone they know, according to a recent survey on "sexting" from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. When people take sexually revealing pictures of themselves and send them as text message attachments, it's called "sexting." Recently the practice has been increasing exponentially. There are many examples of teens taking revealing photos or videos of themselves and having those images end up in the wrong hands. A parent handout providing advice about talking with your teen about sexting is available on the Common Sense Media
