The District is committed to safeguarding the right of all students within the school district to learn in an environment that is free from all forms of sexual harassment. Conduct is deemed to be sexual harassment when the student perceives such behavior as unwelcome, such as inappropriate touching, verbal comments, sexual name calling, spreading sexual rumors, gestures, jokes, pictures, blocking a student’s movement, rape, or attempted rape.
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. Any student who believes that he or she has been subjected to sexual harassment, whether by a teacher, other student, or any individual on school property or at school activities, should report the alleged misconduct immediately to a school counselor or the principal so that appropriate corrective action may be taken.
