August 11, 2020

The Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York has denied the State of New York et al.'s request for a preliminary injunction or stay of the implementation date of the Title IX Final Rule issued in May 2020. Unless one of the two other District Courts hearing similar challenges finds otherwise (DC and MD), the Final Rule will go into effect Friday, August 14.

What does this mean for schools?

Board Policies and Procedures (Title IX Grievance Procedures) should continue to be revised and/or adopted to ensure compliance with the Final Rule.
