Corsica-Stickney School District
Title IX Information
It is the district's policy that sexual harassment is
illegal, unacceptable, and shall not be tolerated; that no student of the school
district may sexually harass another person.
Any student will be subject to disciplinary action including possible
expulsion for violation of this policy.
Any unwelcome sexual advances, solicitation or sexual
activity by promise of rewards, coercion of sexual activity by threat of
punishment, verbal sexist remarks, or physical sexual assaults constitutes
sexual harassment. This conduct has
the effect of unreasonable interference with an individual's academic
performance or of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational
environment regardless of intent.
School district officers, employees, and students are
responsible for maintaining a learning environment free from sexual harassment.
Careful scrutiny will be undertaken of all allegations of sexual
harassment. False allegations that
are malicious or ill-founded may constitute libel or slander.
Copies of the policy will be available at all dministrative offices.
Students should report such incidents to the Title IX
Coordinatior, Guidance Counselor and/or the responsible administrator.
All reported incidents will be thoroughly investigated and
subject to disciplinary action.
Confidentiality consistent with due process will be maintained.
If a student files a written complaint because of dissatisfaction with the handling of the complaint, he or she may utilize the grievance procedure as opposed to the Title IX process.
Corsica-Stickney School District works in cooperation with the schools from
the Core Educational Cooperative to ensure all other Title IX roles are filled
without conflicts.
