KETK and the Longview News-Journal report the district\u2019s athletic program became the focus of a Title IX probe in February after a former girls soccer coach complained to the education department\u2019s Office on Civil Rights. Title IX of the U.S. education code seeks to ensure boys and girls receive equal treatment in the classroom and on the field. <\/p>\n<p>Chris Yoder, a teacher at Longview High School who resigned last summer as girls soccer coach, said Wednesday the civil rights office told him Tuesday the district had asked for early resolution. The district declined through its spokesman to comment on any aspect of the federal probe.
