SEXUAL HARRASSMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the Palo Alto Unified School District to provide a school environment free from all forms of harassment, including sexual harassment, and to maintain an environment in which all students and staff model this behavior and are treated with dignity and respect. Therefore, no person shall be subjected to sexual overtures or conduct, either verbal, visual or physical, which is intimidating, hostile, offensive or unwelcome. Such conduct is deemed unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated by the school district. Complaints may be addressed to the school principal or the assistant superintendent for human resources.
UNIFORM COMPLAINT PROCEDURES
The Palo Alto Unified School District maintains a uniform complaint procedure for investigating complaints of: (1) discrimination on the basis of age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability; and (2) complaints of violations of the laws and regulations governing consolidated categorical aid programs, Adult Education, Career/Technical Education, Child Development, Special Education and Nutrition services. The District has designated the Associate Superintendent of Education Services as the compliance Officer to receive and investigate uniform complaints that fall within these categories and ensure District compliance with law.
Additionally, any individual, public agency or organization may file complaints about specified situations pertaining to instructional materials, emergency or urgent facilities conditions that pose a threat to the health and safety of pupils or staff, and teacher vacancies or misassignments. Such complaints are subject to a different complaint procedure. A complaint may be filed anonymously. The complaint shall be filed with the Principal of the school or his or her designee.
Complaint forms are available from the school principal or the school district office.
