OCR requires that materials used to train "Title IX Personnel" on their duties under the new Title IX regulations be posted on the District's website by the effective date (8/14). "Title IX Personnel" are defined as the Title IX Coordinator, any investigator, any decision-maker, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution (such as mediation). OCR's website lists the following:

Schools must ensure that Title IX personnel receive training as follows:

On Title IX’s definition of “sexual harassment”
On the scope of the school’s education program or activity
On how to conduct an investigation and grievance process
On how to serve impartially, including by avoiding prejudgment of the facts at issue
On how to avoid conflicts of interest and bias
Decision-makers must receive training on any technology to be used at a live hearing, and on issues of relevance of questions and evidence, including when questions and evidence about a complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior are not relevant
Investigators must receive training on issues of relevance to create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence
