Does Title IX prohibit single-sex classrooms and programs in coeducational elementary and secondary schools?
With some exceptions the Title IX regulations generally prohibit single-sex classrooms and programs in coeducational schools. The exceptions to the general prohibition are contact sports offered in physical education classes; choruses, when based on vocal requirements or quality; and portions of classes dealing with human sexuality. Separate classes may be provided for pregnant students, but participation must be voluntary. Single-sex classes are also permitted in order to overcome conditions that have resulted in limited participation by one sex.
