Title IX states that:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

The Millville Area School District will not discriminate in employment, educational programs or activities based on race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, creed, sexual orientation, ancestry, disability, handicap, marital status or because a person is a disabled veteran or a veteran of the Vietnam era and provides equal access to other designated youth groups. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for employees and program participants who are disabled. No student enrolled in a district program shall be denied equal opportunity to participate in age and program appropriate instruction or activities due to actual or perceived race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ancestry, disability, handicap, marital status, limited English proficiency or financial hardship. Participation in instruction and activities for a student identified as exceptional may be modified according to the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed for the student. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for students who are disabled.
