We also are members of MAAPS – the Massachusetts Association of Approved 766 Private Schools. Using the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework, which promotes the reduction of challenging behaviors through the encouragement of positive behaviors, the Devereux School provides students with an opportunity to overcome barriers to learning, discover their potential and realize their goals. Our low student-to-staff ratio creates a nurturing environment in which students can focus on developing academic and social skills. Through an interdisciplinary approach, an individual plan is designed for each student. Our curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and academic requirements are coordinated through a collaborative working relationship with referring school districts in Massachusetts and other states.

Title IX Policy and ProceduresWhat is Title IX?Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Sex discrimination includes sex-based harassment, discrimination on the basis of sex and retaliation related to complaints of sex discrimination. Sex-based harassment is unwelcome conduct, which includes both sexual harassment including, but not limited to, sexual assault, other forms of sexual violence and other sexual misconduct, and gender-based harassment. This applies to academic, educational, athletic and residential programs. What is Different? The new Title IX regulation holds schools accountable for failure to respond equitably and promptly to sexual misconduct incidents and ensures a more reliable adjudication process that is fair to all students. The Final Regulations specify how recipients (defined as schools, LEAs, postsecondary institutions) of federal financial assistance must respond to allegations of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination. They further specify how recipients (defined as schools, LEAs, postsecondary institutions) of federal financial assistance must respond to allegations of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination.
