Q: Do schools with less than 50 employees need to do title ix training?

A: In California, Title IX training requirements can extend beyond just the larger educational institutions. While federal Title IX regulations primarily apply to institutions receiving federal funding, California's state laws have broader implications. The California Education Code requires all schools, regardless of their size, to take steps to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. As for training, while the federal guidelines might not explicitly require small institutions or part-time employees to undergo Title IX training, best practices would suggest that all employees, regardless of their employment status or hours, be trained to ensure a safe and compliant educational environment. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.

A: In California, regardless of the number of employees, all schools receiving federal financial assistance are required to comply with Title IX. This means they must address sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination. While Title IX itself does not specifically mandate training for all employees, it's advisable for institutions to provide such training to ensure compliance and proper handling of issues. Furthermore, California's Education Code requires certain school employees to receive training on the school's sexual harassment policy. The obligation to train often extends to both full-time and part-time employees. Regardless of the number of hours worked, it's crucial that all staff members understand their responsibilities and the rights of students under Title IX. To ensure full compliance, schools should consult with legal counsel and be aware of both federal and state requirements.
