Notice of Nondiscrimination:
Seaside Consortium does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other reason prohibited by law.

Title IX Statement:
Seaside Consortium does not discriminate on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates, as required by Title IX and this part, including in admission and employment.
About Title IX:
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law, enacted in 1972, which states:
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
On May 6, 2020, the United States Department of Education released its final rule under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The final rule requires the schools to follow a specific Title IX Grievance Process while investigating allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education considers sexual misconduct (including sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual assault and intimate partner violence) to be a form of sexual discrimination and requires the school to take immediate and effective steps to respond to sexual misconduct.
For a Title IX investigation to apply, the incident must meet the definition of sexual harassment, and it must have occurred in an education program or activity in which the school has substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the harassment occurred.
