            TITLE IX COMPLIANCE 
             
            The Harrison Central School District, Harrison, New York, does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational programs or 
            activities which it operates, and it is required by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 not to discriminate in such a manner. 
            This policy of non discrimination includes the following areas: recruitment and appointment of employees, employment pay and bene-
            fits, counseling services for students, access by students to educational programs, course offerings and student activities. The district 
            official responsible for the coordination of activities relating to compliance with Title IX is Louis N. Wool, Ed.D. Superintendent of 
            Schools, Harrison Central School District, 914.835.3300.  This official will provide information including compliance procedures to any 
            student or employee who feels that her or his rights under Title IX may have been violated by the district or its officials.
