Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Basic Checklist for Title IX Compliance – The Basic Checklist for Title IX Compliance was prepared to assist schools in meeting the minimum requirements of the Title IX Regulations. It is not an exhaustive checklist and therefore should not be used as a substitute for careful reading of the regulation itself.

ED607 – Title IX Coordinator Survey – Each June 1, the ED607 is sent via a Circular Letter by the Commissioner of Education to Superintendents of Schools, Executive Directors of State-Approved Nonpublic Special Education Programs, Executive Directors of Regional Educational Service Centers (RESC) and the State Education Resource Center (SERC). The ED607 is one of the required forms on the Data Acquisition Plan and is due each year by September 1. The form asks districts to report the name and contact information for Title IX Coordinators on an annual basis. To complete the ED607, districts must enter and CERTIFY data on the SDE Secure Application Webpage, a special website used by school districts to complete state reports. This web site is for use by Connecticut School Districts only. Each school district has a unique user name and password which can usually be obtained from your school district business manager. Once the website is accessed look for the: ED-607 Title IX Coordinator Survey.
