Title IX
North East ISD believes that all students have the right to a safe educational environment free from all forms of retaliation, harassment and discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sex, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law in providing educational services, activities, and programs, including Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.
Definitions under Title IX
Sexual Harassment
-
Includes conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following:
- A school employee conditioning educational benefits on participation in unwelcome sexual conduct;
- Unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would determine is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity; or
- Sexual assault (as defined by the Clery Act), dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking as defined in the Violence Against Women Act.
Gender-based Harassment

Includes unwelcome conduct based on an individual’s actual or perceived sex. It includes slurs, offensive jokes, rumors, cyberharassment, physical aggression or assault; threatening or intimidating conduct; or other aggressive conduct.
Dating Violence

Occurs when a person in a current or past dating relationship uses physical, sexual, verbal, or emotional abuse to harm, threaten, intimidate, or control the other person in the relationship.
Retaliation
-
No individual may intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title IX, or because the individual has made a report or complaint, assisted, or participated or refused to participate in any manner in a Title IX investigation or formal complaint.
