The Board of Education recognizes that volunteers can make many valuable contributions to our schools. The Board endorses a volunteer program that encourages community residents to take an active role to become school volunteers subject to suitable regulations and safeguards.
The New Milford Public Schools recognizes that just about any volunteer situation may result in direct contact with students. Our obligation to take appropriate measures to keep our children safe is one of our primary concerns. We will be requiring criminal history checks, at no cost to you, of all adults who wish to act as volunteers in our schools or chaperones on our field trips.

Thank you. It is the partnership with the community volunteers that make our school district so great!
Title IX is a federal civil rights law in the United States of America that was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or other education program that receives funding from the federal government. This is Public Law No. 92‑318, 86 Stat.
The District does not discriminate based on sex in the education programs and activities that it operates. This requirement not to discriminate in the District’s education programs and activities extends to admission (as applicable) and employment. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and will not be tolerated among New Milford Public Schools’ students. It is the policy of the Board of Education that any form of sexual harassment is forbidden, whether by students, supervisory or non-supervisory personnel, individuals under contract, or volunteers subject to the control of the Board. Employees are expected to adhere to a standard of conduct that is respectful and courteous to employees, students, and the public. An employee found to be a responsible party for sexual harassment violating Title IX may be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. A finding that an employee is not a responsible party for conduct that violates Title IX does not prevent discipline of the employee if the conduct violates another Board policy, personnel rule, or code of conduct. Employee conduct not sexual harassment as defined under the Title IX regulations may still be considered sexual harassment under Connecticut state law and/or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as outlined in Policy 4118.112/4218.112.
The Title IX Coordinator manages the District’s compliance with Title IX, Title VII, and Connecticut law concerning sexual harassment and/or sex discrimination and is an available resource to anyone seeking information or wishing to file a formal complaint. When a student, District employee, or other participant in the District’s programs and activities feels that such person has been subjected to discrimination based on sex in any District program or activity, including, without limitation, being subjected to sexual harassment, such person may contact the Title IX Coordinator or utilize the Title IX, Title VII and Connecticut law grievance systems set forth herein to bring concerns forward for the purpose of obtaining a prompt and equitable resolution.
