TITLE: The Effect of Title IX of the Education Amendments
of
1972 on the Administration of Girls' Competitive Athletic
Programs in Selected Public High Schools of Texas.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1976
NOTE: 32 p.
ABSTRACT: To collect data for this study, a total of 279
questionnaires were mailed to school superintendents
selected from a stratified random sample of public school
districts in Texas. A total of 238, or 86 percent, of the
questionnaires was returned. The study was designed (1) to
describe some of the factors that directly affect the
administration of girls' competitive athletic programs in
each of the five interscholastic league classifications of
Texas public high schools; (2) to determine the status of
girls' athletics prior to passage of Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972, the interim from 1972 to
1975,
and since implementation of Title IX regulations on July
21,
1975; and (3) to describe the effect of Title IX on the
administration of girls' competitive athletic programs. The
study also investigated administrative considerations in
providing female students the opportunity to participate in
athletics; actions taken by school officials to provide
facilities, finances, staff, activity periods, and
supervision of programs; administrative planning to
implement Title IX guidelines; extent of compliance in the
school districts; and major administrative problems in
implementing Title IX regulations in the public high
schools
of Texas. (Author/MLF)
