Does the allegation include sex-based actions (e.g., sex-based verbal or written communications; sex-based drawings or pictures; sexually inappropriate videos; sexual assault; etc.) that were committed in a context over which the district has substantial control?
On campus or during an online class
Off-campus location owned or controlled by the school district
Off-campus, but a school-sponsored event
If yes, determine whether the allegation might constitute one of the following:
Quid pro quo: An employee of the recipient conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service of the recipient on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct.
Hostile environment on the basis of sex
Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so:
Severe (sexual contact, touching in inappropriate places, public sexual shaming/objectification, or repeated incidents of less severe conduct),
Pervasive (pattern or practice, widespread, occurring in public spaces), and
Objectively offensive (age and relationship of the parties, number of people involved, severity, humiliation, intimidation, abuse, etc.)
that it denies a person equal access to the district’s education program or activity.
“Sexual assault”, “dating violence”, “domestic violence”, or “stalking”.
If no, pursue under a different element of the student code of conduct (i.e., disrespect, inappropriate words or actions, bullying, threats, etc.).
