This episode focuses on the District's Title IX Policy.

The Northampton Public Schools is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy educational and
work environment for our students and employees. NPS wants to ensure that no student or staff is
excluded from participation in, or denied benefits of, or subject to discrimination in any NPS
programs or activities on the basis of sex, including sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sexual harassment, including sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination in that it denies an
individual equal access to NPS’s programs or activities. Northampton Public Schools is committed
to taking all appropriate steps to eliminate prohibited conduct, prevent its recurrence and address
its effects. Individuals found responsible for a violation under this policy may face disciplinary
sanctions up to and including dismissal from NPS. NPS will not tolerate retaliation against an
individual who makes a report or participates in any proceedings under this policy. NPS policy
prohibits any form of retaliation and NPS students or employees engaging in retaliation will be
subject to disciplinary action, whether such acts are implicit or explicit, or committed directly or
indirectly.
