Sexual Harassment At School

If I believe I'm being sexually harassed, what can I do?
Any student (or his or her parent) who believes he or she has been sexually harassed should immediately report it to a responsible school official. This could be a teacher, principal, faculty member, administrator, campus security officer or the District 11 Title IX Coordinator/Equal Opportunity Officer.

Or, if the student should let the harasser know that he or she does not welcome the conduct and wants it to stop.

When there is a sexual harassment claim, who chooses the consequences?
Judgment and common sense are important in any response to sexual harassment, especially when dealing with young children.

An appropriate response to unwanted sexual touching of an older student by another may be suspension. With very young children in the primary grades (K-2), however, the best way to deal with the situation might be a discussion of respect for others, including not touching them inappropriately.
