2024 Federal Title IX Regulations:
Information and Resources for Schools

(Last updated May 6, 2024)

New Title IX regulations will take effect on August 1, 2024

The U.S. Department of Education has released the long-anticipated final amendments to the Title IX regulations. The amendments will take effect on August 1, 2024, unless there are intervening legal challenges that cause a delay.

From May through July, school districts and their Title IX Coordinators will need to dedicate some significant time to preparing for the significant regulatory shift.  For a first look at some of the changes and a list of upcoming key action steps that school districts will need to take, please see:

• The April 2024 issue of the WASB’s “Policy Perspectives” newsletter

The following are some of the initial resources that accompanied the announcement of the Final Rule:

• The Final Rule, as published in the Federal Register.
  Caution! The PDF file that contains the final regulations is over 400 pages long, although most of the content consists of commentary and guidance that accompanies the final regulations. The actual amendments to the regulations can be found in this this excerpt, which represents pages 33882 through 33896 of the PDF document (as the pages are numbered within the Federal Register).
  

• A U.S. Department of Education summary of the major provisions of the final regulations.
• A U.S. Department of Education Fact Sheet, which presents a broad overview of the Final Rule.
• A U.S. Department of Education resource to assist with drafting the Title IX nondiscrimination policies, notices of nondiscrimination, and grievance procedures that will be needed to comply with the final regulations.
