K-12 schools and other institutions that are not post-secondary institutions are not required to have a live hearing under the Title IX Final Rule. K-12 schools are allowed to have a live hearing if they are so inclined. K-12 schools, if they have a hearing, cross-examination would take place in real-time at the hearing itself. If they were not to have a hearing, cross-examination in either instance, whether there's a hearing or not, cross-examination would be allowed at an earlier point in the process, also when the investigation reports provided limited cross-examination would be allowed for either party and limited follow-up also.
Cross-examination will take place at K-12 schools that either use the hearing process or do not use the hearing process. Having an experienced attorney adviser will be your best ally in helping to understand and navigate the Title IX process. They should be involved from as early as possible in the case.
