Sexual Harassment Policy

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 during a school-sponsored activity.

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

Examples of sexual harassment include:

• 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.
