Sexual harassment of students, by either a District employee or another student, is conduct that is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it can be said to deprive the victim of access to the educational opportunities or benefits provided by the school. Sexual harassment does not include simple acts of teasing and name-calling among school children, however, even when the comments target differences in gender. 

Any student who believes that he or she has experienced prohibited conduct or believes that another student has experienced prohibited conduct should immediately report the alleged acts to a teacher, counselor, principal, or other District employee. Alternatively, a student may report prohibited conduct directly to one of the District officials below:

• Superintendent- Jay Tullos

Reports of prohibited conduct shall be made as soon as possible after the alleged act or knowledge of the alleged act. Any District employee who receives notice that a student has or may have experienced prohibited conduct shall immediately notify the appropriate District official listed above and take any other steps required by this policy. A failure to promptly report may impair the District's ability to investigate and address the prohibited conduct.
