Abstract
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 provides legislative relief for females who were being denied participation opportunities in intercollegiate and interscholastic athletics.
In recent years there has been a substantial increase in the number of Title IX lawsuits brought against secondary institutions.
The purpose of this study was to perform a Title IX "self-audit" of the Salem High School Athletic Department and its programs. It was designed to identify any problems and recommend solutions.
It also provides a method for continued self-examination for the Salem City School District and any other secondary institutions interested in determining their Title IX compliance.
Through the use of student and parent surveys and a review of school records, it was determined that while some inequities exist, overall the Salem High School Athletic program is in compliance with the Office for Civil Rights Title IX Guidelines.
