Any person may report sex-discrimination, gender-based harassment, sexual harassment, gender-based bullying and/or retaliation by mail, telephone, or by email using the contact information listed for the District Title IX Coordinator or by any other means that result in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report.
