Title IX Textual Descriptions of Diagrams

This is a four-level intervention model represented as a horizontal progression from Level 1 to Level 4. Each level includes a description, its leadership responsibility, and the percentage of students it applies to:

1. Level 1: Early Response/Intervention

   • Leadership: School-led.
   • Focus: Universal interventions for all students.
   • Coverage: 80% of students.

2. Level 2: Escalated Response

   • Leadership: School-led.
   • Focus: Targeted interventions for some students requiring additional support.
   • Coverage: 15% of students.

3. Level 3: Escalated Response + District-led

   • Leadership: District-led (in collaboration with schools).
   • Focus: More intensive support involving both school and district leadership.
   • Coverage: 5% of students.

4. Level 4: Severe (Discipline/Safety Response)

   • Leadership: District-led.
   • Focus: Critical interventions for severe cases, primarily addressing discipline or safety concerns.
   • Coverage: Intensive response.

Each level builds on the previous, with increasing severity or need for support as you progress from Level 1 to Level 4.

Department of Civil Rights

• Title IX/Title VI Manager

Escalated/Safety Response (Levels 3-4)

• VP/AP or Dean
  • School-Based Coordinator (SBC)
    • School Counselor
    • School Psychologist
    • School Social Worker
    • Climate Specialist

Early Intervention (Levels 1-2)

Level 1: Early Intervention

Goal: Preventing and intervening early to set behavior expectations, prevent recurrence, and support students in their learning.

• Description: Early intervention and response.
• Characteristics:
  • In most cases, start here.
  • Low risk to safety.
  • School-based, led by the school’s SBC and supported by the school team.

Level 2: Early Response

Goal: Behavior is becoming persistent or pervasive. More is needed to stop it and support students who have been harmed.

• Description: Targeted behavior intervention.
• Characteristics:
  • In most cases, proceed here when Level 1 interventions are unsuccessful.
  • Mid-risk to safety.
  • School-based, led by the school’s SBC.

Level 3: Escalated Response

Goal: Behavior is persistent, pervasive, and/or severe. Access to education is interrupted, learning is disrupted, and school climate is harmed. There are escalating concerns about student safety.

• Description: Escalated, targeted behavior intervention.
• Characteristics:
  • Move here directly (and skip levels 1-2) when appropriate.
  • Mid to high risk to safety.
  • SBC-district partnership (notify TIX Office early).

Level 4: Severe (Safety Response)

Goal: Full investigation required; determine whether exclusionary discipline is appropriate, establish ongoing safety protocols, uphold accountability while continuing to monitor educational access, school climate, and student wellness.

• Description: Intensive behavior intervention.
• Characteristics:
  • Proceed directly for any severe incident (e.g., sexual assault at school).
  • Mid to high risk to safety.
  • SBC-district partnership (led by district).

Overall Structure

The diagram is a Venn diagram with three intersecting circles:

1. Yellow Circle (Reporting Party)
2. Blue Circle (Responding Party)
3. Red Circle (Shared Processes)

The center of the diagram contains a purple section with the Title IX logo and text, symbolizing the overarching Title IX framework connecting all parties and actions.

Key Elements

Reporting Party (Yellow Circle)

• Definition: The individual impacted by the alleged behavior.
• Support Provided:
  • Trauma-informed support and referral services.
  • Safety planning.

Responding Party (Blue Circle)

• Definition: The individual alleged to have engaged in the behavior.
• Support Provided:
  • Safety planning.
  • SIRC (Supportive Interim Remedies and Corrective action) intervention.

Shared Processes (Red Circle)

• Processes and Actions:
  • Timely response.
  • Discipline (if appropriate).
  • Education and violence prevention.

Central Section (Purple)

• Title IX: This section connects all three circles, representing the guiding framework that ensures fairness, support, and compliance.

Connections Between Circles

• The intersection of the Reporting Party and Responding Party includes safety planning and SIRC intervention, emphasizing that safety and interim remedies are central to both parties.
• The intersection of all circles highlights the shared goal of resolution through the Title IX process.
