Instructions
For this task, imagineyou were recently hired as the principal of Charger Middle School, a public institution receiving federal assistance. Over the summer, a group of parents requested a meeting with you to discuss the Charger's compliance with Title IX regarding the physical education curriculum. During the meeting, the parents asked the following questions:
- What physical education classes will be offered for boys and girls at Charger Middle School during the upcoming school year?
- Will physical education classes be taught in a single-sex or co-educational setting?
- How will boys and girls be evaluated within the physical education classes?
- Who will teach the physical education classes to boys and girls?
- What will occur if a girl wants to take wrestling as one of her physical education electives?
- What will occur if a girl wants to play on the boys' basketball team rather than on the girls' basketball team?
- During one of the elective periods, the only two choices for students are football or dance. My daughter doesn't want to enroll in either activity because one involves a boys' contact sport and the other is technically not a sport. Are there any other options for my daughter?
- Who should we contact if we believe our concerns are not being sufficiently addressed regarding Title IX compliance?
