Is Sexual Harassment Academic?

publicizing a sexual harassment policy that clearly states sexual harassment will not be tolerated and that explains what types of conduct will be considered sexual harassment

developing and publicizing a specific grievance procedure for resolving complaints of sexual harassment

developing methods to inform new administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, staff, and students of the school's sexual harassment policy and grievance procedure

conducting periodic sexual harassment awareness training for all school staff, including administrators, teachers, and guidance counselors

conducting periodic age-appropriate sexual harassment awareness training for students

establishing discussion groups for both male and female students where students can talk about what sexual is and how to respond to it in the school setting

surveying students to find out whether any sexual harassment is occurring at the school

conducting periodic sexual harassment awareness training for parents of elementary and secondary students

working together with parents and students to develop and implement age-appropriate, effective measures for addressing sexual harassment.

If you are a student, or the parent of students, contact the school and inquire about their policy on sex discrimination and harassment. If they don't have one, make it a priority to see that one in soon adopted.

Find your voice sooner, rather than later.
