Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (Title IX) provides: “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.” The Carteret County Public School System is fully committed to honoring, implementing, and enforcing the provisions of Title IX. Equal opportunities for participation in our educational programs, regardless of sex, are provided. Title IX protects both students and employees. Discrimination based on sex, which includes sexual harassment and sexual violence, is prohibited. Areas of the Carteret County Public School System where Title IX may have application include fundamental access to our educational programs, athletics, the arts, and employment.
