Andrea Wenger, director of advancement, has been appointed as the school’s Title IX coordinator. EMS must be in compliance with Title IX of the education amendments of 1972 because the school receives federal financial assistance through its school lunch program. “Compliance is also the right thing to do,” says Paul Leaman, head of school. “Following the guidelines gives structure for caring for everyone.”
The Title IX coordinator’s role is to receive inquiries regarding non-discrimination policies, and assure that grievance filing and processing procedures are in place and accessible. See easternmennonite.org/about/title-ix
