Preparing for the Impact: New Title IX Regulations in Public Schools

The Kansas School Board Resource Center hosted an important webinar to inform and prepare school board members for the impacts of the new Title IX regulations to be implemented by August 1st. Max Eden from the American Enterprise Institute will provide background details on the issue and Jonathan Vogel, Managing Attorney of Vogel Law Firm will discuss the legal implications for school board members, especially in states like Kansas with laws that require separate facilities for boys and girls and run counter to the new Title IX rules.

Max Eden serves as the program manager of the education policy studies department at the American Enterprise Institute. His area of expertise focuses on education reform including K-12 and early childhood education. Mr. Eden has testified before Congress on the “school-to-prison pipeline” and has been published in City Journal, National Review, New York Post, The Hill, The Washington Post, USA Today and is coeditor, with Frederick M. Hess, of The Every Student Succeeds Act: What It Means for Schools, Systems, and States(2017).
