Title IX isn't just for college. It applies to our elementary schools too, meaning we have to be ready to investigate allegations of sex-based discrimination and harassment with our youngest students. This requires a unique approach: clear, kid-friendly policies, staff trained in age-appropriate communication, careful documentation, and a commitment to privacy. We also need to keep parents in the loop, provide support services, and use a trauma-informed lens. It's about ensuring every child has a safe, equal learning environment.
