• SEXUAL HARASSMENT 

    Students and staff are protected against sexual harassment by anyone in any school program or activity, including on the school campus, on the school bus, or off-campus, such as a school-sponsored field trip.

    Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior or communication that is sexual in nature when:

     

    • A student or employee is led to believe that he or she must submit to unwelcome sexual conduct or communications in order  to gain something in return, such as a grade, a promotion, a place on a sports team, or any educational or employment decision, or

    • The conduct substantially interferes with a student's educational performance, or creates an intimidating or hostile educational or employment environment.


    Examples of Sexual Harassment:

     

    • Pressuring a person for sexual favors
    • Unwelcome touching of a sexual nature
    • Writing graffiti of a sexual nature
    • Distributing sexually explicit texts, e-mails, or pictures
    • Making sexual jokes, rumors, or suggestive remarks
    • Physical violence, including rape and sexual assault
