3015 No Harassment of Students Policy

Purpose

The Upper St. Clair School Board (“Board”) strives to provide a safe,

positive learning climate for students in our schools. Therefore, it shall be the

policy of the Upper St. Clair School District (“School District”) to maintain an

educational environment in which harassment in any form is not tolerated.

This “zero tolerance” policy is applied without regard to whether the

harassment is serious enough to be illegal under applicable law.

Authority

The Board prohibits all incidents of harassment of students by all School

District students and staff members, contracted individuals, vendors, volunteers,

and third parties in our schools.

The Board directs that complaints of harassment shall be investigated

promptly, and corrective action be taken when allegations are substantiated.

Confidentiality of all parties shall be maintained, consistent with the School

District’s legal and investigative obligations.

No reprisals or retaliation shall occur as a result of good faith charges of

harassment.

Definitions

For purposes of this policy, harassment shall include verbal, written,

graphic or physical conduct relating to an individual’s race, color, national

origin ethnicity, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion when such

conduct:

1. Is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it effects an

individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from an educational

program or activity or creates an intimidating, threatening or

abusive educational environment.

2. Has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably

interfering with an individual’s academic performance.

3. Otherwise adversely affects an individual’s learning opportunities.

3015

For purposes of this policy, sexual harassment, which includes sexual

violence, shall include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors

and other inappropriate verbal, written, graphic or physical conduct of a sexual

nature when:

1. Submission to such conduct is made explicitly or implicitly a term

or condition of a student’s academic status.

2. Submission to rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for

academic decisions affecting the individual.

3. Such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it

has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with the

student’s school performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or

offensive educational environment.

4. Such conduct deprives a student of educational aid, benefits,

services or treatment. This includes conduct in connection with all

the academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other

programs, whether those programs take place in the School

District’s facilities, on a school bus, at a class or training program

or sponsored by the School District at another location.

Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a

person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the

victim’s use of drugs or alcohol. An individual also may be unable to give

consent due to an intellectual or other disability. A number of different acts fall

into the category of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, sexual

battery, and sexual coercion.

Delegation of Responsibility

In order to maintain an educational environment that discourages and

prohibits harassment, the Board designates the Supervisor of Pupil Services for

matters involving students and has designated in Policy 5312 the Director of

Human Resources for matters involving employees and third parties, as the

School District’s Compliance Officers.

The Compliance Officers shall disseminate this policy and the complaint

procedure on a regular basis to students, parents/guardians, employees,

independent contractors, vendors and the public. The publication shall include

the contact information of the Compliance Officers.

3015

The Compliance Officers and the School District’s leadership team shall

be responsible to provide training for students and employees regarding all

aspects of harassment.

Each staff member shall be responsible to maintain an educational

environment free of all forms of harassment.

Each student shall be responsible to respect the rights of their fellow

students and School District employees and to ensure an atmosphere free from

all forms of harassment.

The building principal or designee shall be responsible to complete the

following duties when receiving a complaint of harassment:

1. Inform the students or third party of the right to file a complaint

and the complaint procedure.

2. Inform the complainant that s/he may be accompanied by a parent

or guardian during all steps of the complaint procedure.

3. Notify the complainant and the accused of the progress of the

situation at appropriate stages of the procedure.

4. Refer the complainant to the appropriate Compliance Officer if the

building principal is the subject of the complaint.

Complaint Procedure

Step 1 - Reporting

A student who believes that s/he has been subject to conduct that

constitutes a violation of this policy is encouraged to immediately report

the incident to the building principal or other appropriate School District

employee.

A School District employee who suspects or is notified that a student has

been subject to conduct that constitutes a violation of this policy shall

immediately report the incident to the building principal.

If the building principal is the subject of a complaint, the student, third

party or employee shall report the incident immediately to the appropriate

Compliance Officer.

The complainant or reporting employee is encouraged to reduce the

complaint to writing, but oral complaints are acceptable.

3015

Step 2 – Investigation

Upon receiving a complaint of harassment, the building principal shall

immediately notify the appropriate Compliance Officer. The Compliance

Officer shall authorize the building principal to investigate the complaint,

unless the building principal is the subject of the complaint or is unable

to conduct the investigation.

The investigation may consist of individual interviews with the

complainant, the accused, and others with knowledge relative to the

incident. The investigator may also evaluate any other information and

materials relevant to the investigation. The investigation should not take

more than sixty (60) calendar days from receipt of the complaint, except

in truly extraordinary circumstances.

The obligation to conduct this investigation shall not be negated by the

fact that a criminal investigation of the incident is pending or has been

concluded.

Administrative regulations will be established and enforced ensuring that

plans and procedures are in place to conduct a harassment investigation.

Step 3 – Investigative Report

The building principal shall prepare and submit a written report to the

appropriate Compliance Officer. The report shall include a summary of

the investigation, a determination of whether the complaint has been

substantiated as factual, whether it is a violation of this policy, and a

recommended disposition of the complaint.

The complainant and the accused shall be informed of the outcome of the

investigation, including the recommended disposition of the complaint,

within the sixty (60) calendar day period from receipt of the complaint.

Step 4 – School District Action

If the investigation results in a finding that the complaint is factual and

constitutes a violation of this policy, the School District shall take

prompt, corrective action to ensure that such conduct ceases and will not

recur. School District staff shall document the corrective action taken

and, where not prohibited by law, inform the complainant.

3015

Disciplinary actions shall be consistent with School District guidelines

and procedures, applicable collective bargaining agreements, and state

and federal Laws.

If it is concluded that a student or other person has knowingly made a

false complaint under this policy, such person shall be subject to

disciplinary action.

Appeal Procedure

1. If the complainant is not satisfied with the finding of no violation

of the policy or with the corrective action recommended in the

investigative report, s/he may submit a written appeal to the

appropriate Compliance Officer within fifteen (15) days.

2. The Compliance Officer shall review the investigation and the

investigative report and may also conduct a reasonable

investigation.

3. The Compliance Officer shall prepare a written response to the

appeal. Copies of the response shall be provided to the

complainant, the accused and the building principal who conducted

the initial investigation.
