Supportive measures are individualized services that are reasonably available during Title IX investigations. These measures are non-punitive, non-disciplinary, and not unreasonably burdensome to the other party while designed to ensure equal educational access, protect the safety, or deter sexual harassment. The following is a listing of several of the supportive measures that are available in Loudoun County Public Schools. Each situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
