Title IX - Sexual Harassment

  • Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity. It protects victims of sexual or gender-based bullying and harassment and survivors of gender-based violence. Protection from the discrimination on the basis of sex includes protection from being retaliated against for filing a complaint of discrimination or harassment.

    The Yonkers Board of Education and all Yonkers Public Schools are committed to complying with Title IX and enforcing school policies prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex. Commissioner Carlos Moran, in the City of Yonkers Department of Human Resources, serves as the Yonkers Public Schools Title IX Coordinator.

    If you feel you have been the victim of any sexual harassment, you should contact the Title IX Coordinator using any of the following information:
