In August 2025, the WASB and Boardman & Clark released new Title IX training materials for all school district employees, as well as for Title IX coordinators, investigators, administrators and decision-makers. Additional training on informal resolution has also been published. While all the mandatory modules are now released, the WASB will continue publishing videos through September on athletics, retaliation and compliance. For more information, contact WASB Director of Communications Brock Fritz.

The Title IX training includes access to the following modules. The first four modules are mandatory, while the all-employee and-all-administrator trainings are highly recommended.
