STUDENT COMPLAINT PROCEDURES
If a student feels that he or she is being subjected to sexual harassment, sexual discrimination, or inappropriate sexual conduct, he or she may immediately inform the harasser that the conduct is unwelcome and needs to stop.
If the inappropriate conduct does not cease, or if the student is unable to or uncomfortable with addressing the alleged harasser directly, he or she should report the incident to his or her building administrator. It is helpful, but not required, to provide a written record of the date, time, nature of the incident(s), and the names of any witnesses.
It is important to report all concerns of sexual harassment, sexual discrimination, or inappropriate sexual conduct to the building administrator as soon as possible. School administration must be made aware of the situation to conduct an immediate and impartial investigation. School administration will then take appropriate action to remediate or prevent prohibited conduct from continuing.
