RCS BOARD TO DISCUSS TITLE IX REPORT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board meets late Wednesday afternoon. The agenda includes a discussion of the Title IX report. A year ago, accusations surfaced that the boys basketball team received preferential treatment for practice facilities. "Our assistant athletic director told us that it didn't matter if we were in-season...that the boys were in the gym and we needed to leave," said one member of the girls volleyball team late last year. The accusation was supported months later by a former athletic director, who wrote in a report that access to the Tiernan Center is not equal for boys and girls. RCS released a statement calling the accusations "speculation, innuendo, rhetoric, and propaganda." Results of the Title IX investigation and report will be discussed Wednesday night. So far, that report has not been made public. Wednesday’s meeting begins at 5:30.
