Harassment of Students

Harassment activity toward any student by an employee or another student will not be tolerated including sexual harassment! Sexual harassment is defined as conduct, advances, gestures or words of a sexual nature which:
  1. Unreasonably interferes with the student’s work or educational opportunities; or
  2. Creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive learning environment; or
  3. Implies that submission to such conduct is made an explicit or implicit term of receiving grades or credit; or
  4. Implies that submission to or rejection of such conduct will be used as a basis for determining the student’s grades and/or participation in a student activity.
Victims of sexual harassment shall report these conditions to the appropriate school official. Confidentiality will be maintained and no reprisals or retaliation will occur as a result of good faith reporting of charges of sexual harassment.

In determining whether alleged conduct constitutes harassment, including sexual harassment, all of the circumstances, including the nature of the conduct and the context in which the alleged conduct occurred, will be investigated. The Office of the Superintendent, Title IX Director (Assistant Director of Schools, 615-449-6060), shall be responsible for investigating all complaints of sexual harassment. If satisfactory resolution of the complaint is not reached, the student may appeal the matter to the superintendent, and ultimately to the Board of Education.
