DeKalb Schools Under Federal Title Nine Probe | Atlanta News
About this episode
DeKalb County Schools is under federal investigation regarding its handling of sexual harassment and assault allegations tied to Title IX compliance.
DeKalb County Schools is under federal scrutiny as the U.S. Department of Education investigates whether the district properly handled allegations of sexual harassment and assault by staff — a probe tied to Title IX compliance. The investigation, triggered by data from the 2023-24 school year, examines whether the district’s reporting and response procedures were adequate, and whether it fulfilled its legal obligation to conduct its own thorough investigations — not just hand off cases to law enforcement. While no findings have been made yet, the district’s interim superintendent reassures families that student safety remains top priority, and that the probe doesn’t imply wrongdoing — just a neutral federal review. This isn’t an isolated case; DeKalb joins about 20 districts nationwide facing similar federal audits as part of a broader push for accountability in school systems.
