Primex3 and NHSAA are jointly hosting a Title IX training on October 10 as a service to their school members. We are happy to report that Attorneys Dean Eggert  and Alison Minutelli will join us to provide an overview of Title IX changes* followed by a panel discussion with two district-level administrators who are also their district's Title IX coordinator. 

*The final Title IX Regulations are effective on August 1, 2024, and apply to complaints of sex discrimination regarding alleged conduct that occurs on or after that date.

Seacoast Outright will frame the foundation of our session by presenting on LGBTQ+ issues in the school setting. This will include an understanding of core LGBTQ+ concepts (gender identity, gender expression, orientation), the implications of school practices on mental health outcomes, youth identity development, feeling confident with pronoun usage, inclusive physical spaces, and other topics as they arise.
