Sexual harassment in public schools has been a problem for centuries. In situations where there is a power struggle or disparity, there are often instances of sexual harassment between the haves and the have-nots. In order to ensure the safety of staff and student alike, school boards need to put into place a public school sexual harassment policy. This will ensure the protection of all who attend or work in the public school system. A public school sexual harassment policy needs to be comprehensive. It also needs to follow set guidelines by the school board while meeting or even surpassing the applicable legislation. Consult a sexual harassment lawyer for specific information and guidelines. It is essential that the school – students and staff alike, read and understand the policy. Make sure all have a chance to do so. If necessary, translate the policy into languages to simply the comprehension by the parents.
