MR. STEVENSON said the district anticipated what regulations would have to be met when they drafted a m Dec. 1975. This 18 and check-lis- t indicated any areas that page check-lis- t the school district would have to correct in order to meet the regulations, applying to both curriculum and athletics. At that time, principals in the 52 schools in the district completed a form which would bring schools into compliance. ONE OF problems was first to eliminate all references in class offerings which indicated that classes such as music, home economics or shop were open to only one sex. Classes such as music could allow students to qualify by voice range or by skill, but not by sex. According to Mr. Stevenson, physical education classes are open to both sexes unless one sex is eliminated based on a skill level. Notable examples mentioned by Mr. Stevenson were football and wrestling where women are not usually able to meet the weight-liftinrequirement g JAMES HILL, physical education con- sultant, said specialized classes with ability grouping, such as weight training or advanced gymnastics, are in conformance with the regulations. Separate classes are allowed after the district establishes the criteria based on ability grouping. Myths According o Mr. Stevenson, attached to the problems have melted No friction has developed away. although the district is aware of areas which still have to be resolved. One area he mentioned was that more facilities are needed to make available men's and women's sports programs. THIS NEED was addressed when the Davis County School Board approved plans for the construction of two new Bountiful gymnasiums at Clearfield and High schools. Other gymnasiums in high schools in the district have less serious space problems, he said. 1 wouldn't say any are hurting although they are not at an optimum level." He said the gyms in other schtxils can be divided to enlarge the capacity for both a male and female program while wrestling, weight rooms, showers and locker rooms are adequate. MR. STEVENSON said the district is not obligated to provide equal pep bands or pep clubs for women's athletics unless such as wrestling, football or basketball, schools may have separate units within the class. To Be ACCORDING TO Mr. Hill, when women are eliminated from contact sports that does not eliminate the obligation of the district to supply the same or similar programs for them Mr. Stevenson said in the past the district has provided womens volleyball in lieu of football and gymnastics in place of men's wrestling Mr. Stevenson said, however, that although the district need not now comply in denying women participation in contact sports, that point is now being tested in the courts. An Ohio decision rulpd there was a violation of the 14th Amendment rights when a woman was not allowed to participate, but that question has not been appealed to the Supreme Court. Improved HOWEVER, IN sports such as tennis, golf, and swimming if a woman can compete on an equal basis with men, she is allowed to participate on the team. In most cases in the district, these teams are separate, but some womens teams are coached by men At this point no women coach mens teams, but both Mr Stevenson and Mr. Hill anticipate this will happen in the future. We dont care if the coach is male or female as long as that person is qualified," Mr. Hill said MR. STEVENSON pointed out that the law requires a grievance procedure where anyone questioning the policy in relation to Title 9 may bring the issue to the school principal. If possible the issue is resolved at that level If necessary, the question may revert to the district Title 9 council, headed by Mr. Stevenson or if not resolved, may be appealed to the Davis County Board of (ducat ion The district is aU required to prepare a compliance assurance form and a policy notification statement, in J. eating the district is in compliance with the regulations and does not discriminate bn the basis of sex. MR. STEVENSON said that barriers are falling as some boys are enrolling in dance and home economics classes and girls m auto mechanics lie hr i eves that Title 9 a package of amendments to the education act was pas-e- d by Congress because it was n eded "Re gardltss of the wo!d not have previous belief. Coof'c-shad to deal so rigidly if the n d hadn't been there They medJ.rd hi cause thy to correct a wrong " Females had to did not have equal opportunity. The regulations wouldnt have had to be so severe if there was no ra d " Mr. Stevenson bil'cves that Title 9 regulations, wh ch arc "correcting an inequity," mav take some time for people to adjust to. The regulations wont result in the de femin.aunn of women and a neuter sex, but instead will eliminate discrimination, he sod the fans increase and the demands obligate the district to do so We'll pull bands and pep clubs into that area as soon as there is pressure to provide it He will anticipates that these activities and equalize rapidly between men's women's sporting events. Mr. Hill has issued a memorandum to all secondary principals instructing that all physical education classes must be completely coeducatmn.il as far as roll call, activities and grading are con-c- i mod When activities are contact sports s IN ADDITION to class offerings and physical education programs. Title 9 also requ.res the removal of s x references in counseling where professions have in the past been stereotyped airord.ng to sex He said that language in si bool n xt books which is discriminatory will also hae to he eliminated bv texiboox publishers, and fox'ks chn n bv Sc lmu,s on th's ba-a- The implementation of Title 9 has cd.mina'i d s pirae chor m f r men and women and has m.i !e d il g he fur men to join I'c p Clubs s' oiiid they d s.re.
