This manual was addressed to all Regional Directors, Education Branch Chiefs, Regional Attorneys, and Elementary and Secondary Education Division Staff of the Office of Civil Rights. Those concerned are directed to follow the manual in the conduct of Title IX or joint Title IX-Title VI/ESAA reviews, as well as in complaint investigations. Although the manual deals with all relevant sections of the final Title IX Regulation, it is expected that supplements and bulletins will be issued as additional experience is acquired in investigating Title IX issues and further policy decisions evolve. Seventeen short chapters deal with specific aspects of the law. In each chapter the relevant section of the law is cited, basic principals are outlined, and the information to be obtained from school administrators is listed. The concluding chapter outlines review procedures and provides instructions about letters of findings, including a sample letter. (Author/MLF)
