The Fountain Hills Unified School District Governing Board is divided over proposed changes to Title IX.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding, ensuring equal opportunities for students in areas such as sports and academics.
In 2024, the federal government revised Title IX regulations to broaden the definition of sexual harassment to include "sexual discrimination," aiming to enhance protections for students but raising concerns about potential overreach and implications for school policies.
