Ketchikan High School cleared after Title IX investigation

The district's review, led by Ketchikan School District Curriculum Director Shannon Sines and Rick Rafter, director of human resources, found that the girls' volleyball program had not been discriminated against, but that there are structural changes the district can undertake to change its activities program.

The district's review concluded that girls' volleyball and other sports tracked equally in terms of locker rooms, access to equipment and funding, and athlete representation in male and female sports.

A complaint that the district had purchased uniforms without consulting volleyball coaches or players was accurate, but the funding for the purchase was covered by the district and not the volleyball program.
