At Lotus School for Excellence, Title IX applies to both students and employees and supports equal access to educational and employment opportunities.

Title IX concerns may include sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, certain forms of sexual violence, and discrimination related to pregnancy or parenting status.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual assault
Dating violence
Domestic violence
Stalking

Sex Discrimination

Sex discrimination may occur when a person is treated differently or denied equal access to a school program, activity, service, or employment opportunity because of sex. This may involve areas such as academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, school programs, or employment.

Pregnancy and Parenting Protections

Title IX also provides protections related to pregnancy, childbirth, related medical conditions, and parenting status.
