SEXUAL HARASSMENT - Administrative Regulations:

Sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, and the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination and is unacceptable to this school district. Therefore, any employee, agent (including an independent contractor or volunteer), or student is strictly prohibited from engaging in sexual harassment.

The Supervisor, Building Principal or counselor will conduct a fair, thorough, and timely investigation of the allegation(s). The investigation will consider the nature of the alleged activity and the context in which the
alleged activity occurred. An investigation will normally include conferring with the parties involved, as well as any named or possible witnesses. An employee against whom a complaint is filed shall receive a fair and impartial review of the allegation(s). During the investigation, the Complainant or individual against whom the allegations are made may have a representative present consistent with any Board policies or contractual rights.

The Complainant shall be protected from coercion, intimidation, retaliation,interference, or discrimination for filing a complaint or assisting in an investigation. However, a complainant who files a false complaint, or an
individual who provides or knows false information has been provided, during such an investigation or review and fails to report such information to the investigating monitor shall be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge.

If the evidence obtained as a result of the investigation reveals that the complaint is valid, the Supervisor, Building Principal, or counselor will recommend a resolution to the Complainant and to the individual against whom the complaint has been filed. If the recommended resolution is acceptable to both parties, the Supervisor, Building Principal, or counselor shall provide a report to the Superintendent for review and action. If the monitor's recommended resolution is not acceptable to any party, either party may request
that the monitor schedule a full review of the allegations by the Superintendent.

Such review will include, but is not limited to a opportunity for each party to address the Superintendent and for the investigating monitor to provide the investigation report and recommended resolution to the Superintendent.

Sexual harassment of students by other students or by employees of this District is unlawful under both Michigan and Federal law, and is contrary to the commitment of this District to provide a stable learning environment. The Fulton School District will not tolerate any sexual harassment of students. It is the policy of the Fulton School district that all contact between students, teachers, and other adult employees of this District be in keeping with respect for the individual student, be of a nature which does not make a student feel uncomfortable, and be conducive to creating a stable learning environment.

Sexual harassment includes making unwelcome sexual advances, engaging in improper physical contact, making improper sexual comments, or otherwise creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational learning environment. All students and all district employees are expected to conduct themselves with respect for the dignity of others.

If a student has concerns about the nature of any conduct or physical contact by an adult employed by the district, by a fellow student, or by a member of the public, the student should immediately report this concern to the building principal or counselor, as well as discussing this concern with the student's parent or guardian.

Students are encouraged to report any conduct or contact that makes them feel uncomfortable, is bothersome, or is contrary to a stable learning environment.

All such reports will be investigated immediately by the District. Anyone found to have violated this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to, and including, expulsion from school if they are a student, or termination from employment if they are an employee. Normal procedure will call for escalating discipline measures for students to be taken, depending upon the severity of the situation. Generally, the following process will be followed:

TEACHER RECORDS:
Each teacher is to keep a daily record of the students under his or her instruction. This record is to include academic grades, daily attendance and tardiness.

The form of recording grades will be dictated by the report card form being used at the time of formulating the grades.

The report card being used for the current school year has a letter grade and a narrative section. The letter grade and student characteristic sections must be used each marking period. The narrative section must be used as well. Remember, a little pat on the back can go a long way!

 DISCIPLINE PROCEDURE:
"Warnings" may occur at times when an incident is minor, circumstance unclear or other mitigating factors are present. Recess detentions may be issued if warnings have not remedied the siltation sufficiently. These may be served in the teacher's classroom, the designated time-out room for that teacher, or in the area immediately in front of the office as a last resort.

Students whose behaviors warrant more severe disciplinary measures or have not been remedied through previous actions can be assigned time-out in a prearranged teacher's room. The amount of time-out assigned should be appropriate and consistent. Students must take work with them to do during their assigned time-out.

Noon detentions are to be assigned by the administration. However, teachers who feel a student needs to be assigned a noon detention may refer the student to the principal. This may be done by contacting the principal personally to explain the behavior problem, or with a brief note. Generally the student's behavior should be extremely disruptive or persistent before they are referred for a noon detention. Teachers who wish to keep students in their rooms for all or part of noon recess may do so, but must make sure the student has sufficient time to eat. It is recommended that the student be allowed to get their lunch and take it with them before reporting to the teacher's room.

After school detention may be assigned by the principal or the classroom teacher. The detention is to last at least 30 minutes. Parents are to be notified 24 hours, or one school day, before their child's detention takes place. It will be the responsibility of the parent to provide their child's transportation home. The administration should be notified of a student's after school detention, if it is assigned by a teacher.

Teacher's may refer a student to the principal for time out in the SDR for behavior(s) that are persistently disruptive, of a serious nature, or detrimental to their educational process or that of others. Exit plans are to be approved by the teacher and/or principal, and a conference must be held with the student to discuss the plan before the student will be allowed to return to the classroom.

Saturday Detentions may be referred to the principal by a teacher for the following reasons: truancy, tardiness, disrespect, fighting, persistent disruptive behavior or misconduct, failure to display an effort to meet classroom requirements, behavior not warranting out-of-school suspension.

Noon detentions, after school detentions, SDR assignments, and Saturday detentions are all subject to approval by the building principal. It should be understood that these referrals will be supported by the principal if adequate effort has been made to remedy the situation prior to referral, and if the punishment is appropriate for the behavior.

Good discipline throughout the school is the joint responsibility of all staff members. Whether students are specifically members of your class or not, we all share the joint responsibility of monitoring student behavior and taking necessary action to control unacceptable behavior.

ASSEMBLIES:
Paid assemblies are sponsored by the student body and are covered by the Student Activity Fees. All-school assemblies will be held at the discretion of the principal and superintendent. We will make every attempt to collect activity fees before students report cards are given out.

Teachers are expected to sit with their respective classes during assemblies in order to maintain good management of disruptive behavior. It is important that we be consistent in this practice, and not rely on others to assume your responsibilities.
