Title IX Regulations

Every school district that receives federal funding is required to designate and/or adequately train at least

one employee to coordinate the recipient’s Title IX responsibilities. Title IX regulations also require the name and

contact information of each Title IX Coordinator be made public by the educational institution. Santa Clara

Elementary School District affirms its commitment to equality of opportunity for all individuals. This commitment

requires that no discrimination shall occur regarding admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, any

program and activity on the basis of age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, citizenship, sex, gender,

gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, medical condition, religion, or marital status. Santa Clara did not offer

competitive athletics as that term is defined by Education Code Section 221.9 (e) in the 2016-17 school year.

Complaints alleging noncompliance with Title IX should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator:

Superintendent/Principal Mrs. Kari Skidmore kskidmore@santaclaraesd.org (805) 525-4573

If you wish to file a Civil Rights Complaint you must file in writing by mail, fax, email, or via the OCR Complaint
