Title IX
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces, among other statutes, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX states:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

RISE Prep is committed to ensuring that no scholar feels that they have been discriminated against based on their gender.

Any report of sex-based discrimination or harassment will be taken seriously, addressed promptly and with sensitivity.

Under the Title XI law scholars will be provided with the following assurances:

• The right to be treated according to gender identity
• The right to be called by the name and pronouns that match their gender identity
• The right not to be bullied or harassed because you are transgender or gender non-conforming
• The right to use restrooms that match gender identity
• The right to get the same opportunities to learn and participate in school activities, sports, and events as all scholars
