27 School Districts to Lose Eligibility for HEW Grants Due to Noncompliance with Anti-Sex Discrimination Law, 1977-12-13

Item — Box: 36, Folder: 10

Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_36_10_0004

Scope and Contents

The U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare announced that 27 school districts will be ineligible for new grants due to non-compliance with Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination. The districts have failed to submit assurances of compliance, leading to the notification. The assurances are necessary for future federal aid applications. The districts have small enrollments, and the assurances are crucial for enforcing Title IX and addressing discrimination complaints. The OCR has notified a total of 19,500 school districts and higher education institutions of the assurance requirement. Some districts have not responded to requests for assurance forms, and further action is being taken.
