Do students at your school know what happens after they report sexual misconduct to teachers, coaches, or other school staff?
This guide is meant to help you research your school’s definitions, policies, and procedures, as well as provide direction for improving your school’s responses to reported sexual misconduct. Sexual misconduct is a general term that includes sexual harassment (in-person or online), sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and other behaviors by students and school staff as defined in your school’s or school district’s policies.
The goal of this project is to help make transparent your school’s response and help fellow students understand what to expect when they report sexual misconduct.
You may use this guide to research what your school or school district does when it is informed about sexual misconduct incidents, and to help you create a document that you can share with classmates and parents.
