    2. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 2 Purpose The purpose of the sexual harassment policy is to prohibit sexual harassment in our school district. Sexual harassment is not limited to students. It can occur between peers, subordinates or supervisors.

    3. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 3 The Legal Definition Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature in the workplace or education setting.

    4. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 4 It’s Sexual Harassment When… A person’s employment or education are threatened unless they submit to a sexual favor. Employment or educational opportunities are offered in return for sexual favors. Someone else’s behavior unreasonably interferes with work or academic performance of others and it creates a hostile environment. Employment or educational benefits, services, honors, programs or activities are threatened unless the person submits to a sexual favor.

    5. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 5 Is compliance for school time only? As far as students are concerned, staff and faculty are always on the clock and you are always an employee of the district. Complying with the sexual harassment policy is expected “24/7.”

    7. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 7 It Is an Obligation School districts are like all other businesses. They and their employees are obligated to have policies and procedures in place preventing sexual harassment. Sound policies protect staff, faculty and students.

Respond properly Respond promptly Have actual knowledge Contact the appropriate school administrator Under the law, persons who were aware of a harassment situation and failed to respond could be held liable.

    9. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 9 Who should you contact? Contact the district Title IX Coordinator. Every school district must designate an individual as the Title IX Coordinator and this is the individual who will be tasked with receiving questions and complaints. The Title IX Coordinator for Lexington School District 2 is the Director of Personnel. The Title IX Coordinator works to ensure that the district is in compliance with the requirements of sexual harassment law.

    11. Substitute Reactivation Lex 2 - SH Module 11 Sexual Harassment Isn’t Only Verbal Pervasive displays of pictures, calendars, cartoons or other materials with sexually explicit or graphic content are also harassment. Their presence may contribute to a hostile environment.
