The School District of Mauston Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education program or activity and is required by Title IX and its implementing regulations not to discriminate in such a manner. The requirement not to discriminate in its education program or activity extends to admission and employment. It is a violation of Board policy for a Complainant(s), Respondent(s), and/or witness(es) to knowingly submitting false information including intentionally making a false report of sexual harassment or submitting a false formal complaint.

Any inquiries about the application of Title IX and its implementing regulations to the District may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator(s), the Assistant Secretary for the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, or both.

Formal letters of complaint can be addressed to the individuals listed below at our district mailing address: 510 Grayside Ave., Mauston, WI 53948

The Board is committed to promptly and equitably resolving student and employee complaints alleging Sexual Harassment. The District’s response to allegations of sexual harassment will treat the Complainants and Respondents equitably, including providing supportive measures to the Complainant and Respondent, as appropriate, and following this grievance process before the imposition of any disciplinary sanctions or other actions, other than supportive measures, against the Respondent. 

The Title IX Coordinators, along with any investigator(s), decision-maker(s), or any person(s) designated to facilitate an informal resolution process, shall not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against Complainants or Respondents generally or an individual Complainant or Respondent.

If a determination of responsibility for sexual harassment is made against the Respondent, the Board will provide remedies to the Complainant. The remedies will be designed to restore or preserve equal access to the District’s education program or activity. Potential remedies include, but are not limited to, individualized services that constitute supportive measures. Remedies may also be disciplinary or punitive in nature and may burden the Respondent.

The Process described herein relates exclusively to complaints brought under policy. The District will continue to handle complaints subject to the District's other nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policies, including Policy 5517 - Student Anti-Harassment; Policy 5517.01 - Bullying; Policy 2260 - Nondiscrimination and Access to Equal Educational Opportunity; and Policy 2260.01 - Section 504/ADA Prohibition Against Discrimination Based on Disability.
