Title IX, Civil Rights Compliance, and Student Support in PGCPS

Community Webinar: Title IX, Civil Rights Compliance, and Student Support in PGCPS

On Thursday, August 20 we hosted a community webinar focused on fostering safe, supportive, and compliant learning environments for every student.

During this session, district leaders addressed the recent U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigation involving the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and local school districts, including Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS). We outlined what this federal inquiry involves and what it means for our students, families, and school communities.

Key Topics Covered:

• Overview of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
• Relevant Maryland state guidance and PGCPS policies
• Standards governing facility access, overnight accommodations, and athletic participation
• Our ongoing commitment to student dignity, safety, and equal opportunity
