Title IX Correction

Posted

An article in this week’s edition of the Sakonnet Times contained a misquote of Little Compton school superintendent Dr. Laurie Dias-Mitchell.

Asked about the district’s policy that deals with protections for transgender and gender non-conforming students, she wrote in an e-mail to the Sakonnet TImes stating that the policy is “focused on protecting all members of the school community," not all members of the school committee.

Also, a clarification: Though Dias-Mitchell would not comment on litigation, the school committee's agenda of Wednesday, Sept. 11, confirms that the committee discussed Title IX in executive session that night.
