NOTICE OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY

Lake Placid Central School District and Board of Education Policy recognizes that

harassment of students and staff on the basis of sex, gender and/or sexual orientation is abusive

and illegal behavior that harms victims and negatively impacts the school culture by creating an

environment of fear, distrust, intimidation and intolerance. Preventing and remedying such

harassment in schools is essential to ensure a healthy, nondiscriminatory environment in which

students can learn and employees can work productively. The Board of Education is committed

to providing an educational and working environment that promotes respect, dignity and equality

and that is free from all forms of sexual harassment. To this end, we condemn and strictly

prohibit all forms of sexual harassment on school grounds, school buses and at all school-

sponsored activities, programs and events including those that take place at locations outside the

district. Because sexual harassment can occur staff to student, staff to staff, student to staff,

student to student, male to female, female to male, male to male or female to female, it shall be a

violation of this policy for any student, employee or third party (school visitor, vendor, etc.) to

sexually harass any student or employee.

Statements informing students and employees about the sexual harassment policy shall be

distributed in the following ways:

• In student and employee handbooks

• On the district website and

• In student registration materials.

• Posters summarizing the policy shall also be posted in a prominent location at each

school.

• All secondary school student body officers shall receive training about the policy

• Through age-appropriate curricular materials

• As incorporated within instruction K-12

• At new employee orientation.
