Investing in Title IX training now will save your district time, headaches, and maybe even a lawsuit later.
Last year, schools were scrambling in late July. New Title IX regulations dropped from the Biden administration, and the clock started ticking toward an August 1 implementation date. Then, a federal judge in Kentucky hit pause just before the Trump administration took office. The current administration has signaled it won’t appeal the stay, leaving districts in the uncomfortable middle—caught between two regulatory frameworks and a lot of legal uncertainty.
No matter who’s running the show in Washington, one thing hasn’t changed: courts still expect schools to train their people and respond when something goes wrong. And while the politics shift, the state mandates keep coming. The margin for error is thin, and the legal and political expectation to “get it right” is higher than ever.
So what’s a school district to do?
Start with a Training Plan That Actually Works
At KSB, we’ve designed an updated suite of training options to help your team prepare for 2025–26 without wasting time or money. None of this is designed to scare you into compliance—it’s about giving your staff the tools they need to do their jobs well and with confidence. Here’s what’s available:
Title IX Training – Team and Staff Options
For Districts Using the “Full” 2020 Policy
If your board adopted a policy aligned with the full 2020 Title IX regulations, your team needs to be fully trained—and your training materials must be posted publicly on your website. Our on-demand Title IX Team Training (Full Version) meets all those needs. It includes:
A 3-hour detailed training video
Updated forms for compliance
A link and materials for your website
District-wide access for $1,250
For Districts Using the “Slim” Policy
Some boards opted for a less exhaustive version that still meets legal standards by focusing on the “deliberate indifference” standard. For those districts, we offer:
A 40-minute team training
Custom checklists and compliance forms
District-wide access for $750
If you are not a KSB policy subscriber and are interested in purchasing either the 2020 Title IX policy or the “slim” Title IX policy, please send Shari an email.
All Staff Title IX Training
Whether you’re using the full or slim policy, all employees, volunteers, board members, and even community coaches need to understand their reporting obligations. Our 25-minute video:
Can be watched individually or as part of inservice
Includes tracking and completion certificates
Costs $500 per district (regardless of the number of individuals who access it)

Although we aren’t ready to open registration yet, we do want to let you know that we’ll continue our Quarterly Webinars, with a “deep dive” into topics offering focused, extended sessions on pressing issues facing school administrators. These will run three hours each and include materials, examples, and time for discussion.
