IASB is introducing a new course in its Online Learning Center to assist Title IX Appellate Decision-Makers in their duties. As part of the process of managing Title IX grievances, the Appellate Decision-Maker (ADM), reviews the decision of a Title IX Decision-Maker, if an appeal is filed. The course is based on changes to the process made in August 2020.
The 90-minute course, Title IX Training for School Board Appellate Decision-Makers, is designed ensure ADMs understand the bases for appeal and can fulfill the role. The course focuses on the appeal process and covers
