We’re excited to share a major development that reinforces our shared mission of protecting students and restoring academic integrity across our schools.

The U.S. Department of Education has officially declared June as Title IX Month , honoring the 53rd anniversary of the landmark 1972 law that guarantees women equal access to educational opportunities.

In a powerful show of commitment, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has launched two key Title IX investigations:

✅ University of Wyoming is under investigation for allowing a male to join a female-only sorority, violating Title IX protections for single-sex organizations.
✅ Jefferson County Public Schools (CO) is being investigated for policies that reportedly allowed biological males to share overnight accommodations with girls without proper parental notification.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated:

“This Administration will fight on every front to protect women’s and girls’ sports, intimate spaces, dormitories and living quarters, and fraternal and panhellenic organizations.”

As school board members, these actions represent a vital turning point. The restoration of Title IX’s original intent, protecting women on the basis of sex, is a bold step toward ensuring safety, fairness, and truth in education.

We will continue to monitor updates and share key resources throughout June as Title IX Month unfolds. Let’s celebrate this win and remain vigilant in upholding student rights in our local divisions.
