Title IX prohibits federally funded educational institutions-- from elementary to university level-- from discriminating against students or employees based on sex. Title IX applies to pregnant and parenting students. It prohibits discrimination against pregnant and parenting students and protects their right to an education equal to their peers. Although Title IX has improved opportunities for female students and is credited with decreasing the dropout rate of girls from high school, this same progress does not ring true for pregnant and parenting students. Fifty years after the passage of Title IX, the dropout rate for this student population is still 50%. This is in large part because educational barriers exist that push students out of school and schools are in direct violation of Title IX. What if those educational barriers exist at your school? What if your school is in direct violation of Title IX? Wouldn’t you want to know? Helping Teen Moms Graduate will help make sure your school is in compliance and will help you to learn practical strategies for reducing the dropout rate for this student population.
