Coordinator services

Title IX coordinator services

A named senior practitioner carries your Title IX coordinator portfolio, working within the designation and authority your institution holds. We carry intake, supportive measures, process oversight, and the record, on a monthly retainer instead of a full-time hire.

How an engagement starts

  1. 01
    Scoping conversationWe review the caseload, the policy in force, the reporting line, and what the role has to hold. We tell you plainly whether a fractional role fits.
  2. 02
    Written termsLevel of role, defined caseload, reporting line, and a flat monthly retainer fixed for the term, all in writing before we begin.
  3. 03
    HandoverWe take custody of open matters, review each file, and give you a status report within the first weeks of the engagement.

When to call

When institutions engage us

  • 01The role is vacantA coordinator has left and the search will take months. The obligations do not pause while the position is posted, so we carry the coordinator portfolio until a permanent hire is in place.
  • 02The role is spread too thinTitle IX sits on top of another full-time role, and complaints move slowly because the person holding it has no time left. We take the caseload so the role is actually covered.
  • 03The caseload outgrew the modelVolume or complexity has reached the point where one person cannot manage intake, process, and records at the standard a reviewer will expect.
  • 04A conflict has surfacedThe coordinator is too close to a matter, a party, or a department. Outside coordination removes the question of partiality before anyone raises it.

The role

What the role covers

  • Intake and initial assessmentEvery report acknowledged, assessed, and routed on a documented timeline, with outreach to the complainant and the options explained plainly.
  • Supportive measuresIndividualized measures offered, implemented, and recorded, including the reasoning behind each decision.
  • Process oversightGrievance procedures run as written, with notice, timelines, and the separation between investigator and decision maker kept intact.
  • Policy and instrumentsPolicy, procedures, notices, and templates maintained against the rules that currently apply to your institution.
  • Records and reportingA complete, retrievable file for every matter, and reporting to leadership that says what is open, what moved, and what is at risk.
  • Training coordinationRequired training for the coordinator, investigators, decision makers, and advisors, scheduled and documented.

Worth knowing

What sits outside the role

Investigations of individual matters are engaged separately, because a coordinator who also investigates their own intake is a conflict rather than a saving. Published retainer rates for Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Title IX Coordinator roles, by sector, are on the fractional leadership page.

Questions we get

All questions

What is fractional Title IX coordination?

A senior practitioner carries the day-to-day Title IX coordinator portfolio for your institution part time, under a written agreement, working within the designation and authority your institution holds.

How does an outside coordinator fit the Title IX rules?

We provide fractional Title IX coordination and can carry the day-to-day coordinator portfolio. Engagements are structured with the institution to preserve required institutional designations, authority, and accountability under applicable Title IX regulations.

Do you serve PK-12 districts as well as colleges?

Yes. The role is priced on a separate PK-12 schedule for districts, charters, and independent schools.

Once terms are signed, handover of open matters typically begins within days. Tell us at scoping if you are working against a deadline.
