Understanding the New Title IX Regulations Webinar

July 9, 2024, Noon
Via Zoom

REGISTER NOW! Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) was signed into law more than 50 years ago. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government. In July of 2022, the Biden Administration released proposed regulations. The US Department of Education subsequently received and reviewed more than 240,000 comments from the public on those proposed regulations. In April 2024, the Department of Education released updated final regulatory guidance that affects the way Title IX is implemented in K-12 schools and on postsecondary campuses nationwide starting August 1, 2024.

Please join Catherine Lhamon, Assistant Secretary for the Office for Civil Rights / US Department of Education and school legal experts from Bose McKinney and Evans, LLP, for a webinar explaining the newly released Title IX Regulations and what their implementation and enforcement will mean for public school districts.
