What can parents do to make sure that their school treats male and female athletics fairly?
• A: They can: • Talk to the school’s athletic department and ask that they address any problems • Contact the school’s Title IX coordinator (the law requires each school to have one) • Use the school’s internal complaint procedure (another legal requirement) • File a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (1-800-421-3481), which investigates and resolves Title IX complaints; or • File a lawsuit
