LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION POLICY

​

Your school works to give you an education that is safe and without sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is behavior you don’t like that is directed at you because you are a girl or a boy. It can make you feel unsafe or scared and keeps you from learning. It can be someone’s bad words, something you see, physical behavior, or touching of private body parts (like parts covered by a swimsuit). Examples may be:

​

  • Unwanted hugs, kisses, grabbing or touching
  • Standing too close or stopping someone from moving
  • Showing or sending inappropriate or nasty pictures of a sexual nature that make others feel bad or uncomfortable
  • Treating someone differently just because they are a girl or boy

It is against school rules and the law for people to do this.

​

  • If it’s safe for you, you can ask the person to stop doing these bad things to you or other kids.
  • You can help friends share problems like this with an adult they trust.
  • You can report it to the principal, a teacher, or someone who handles complaints like this.
  • The school will take action right away to find out what happened, make it stop and keep it from happening again.
  • No one is allowed to punish you for making a report or for talking to an adult about what happened.

​

The school will share information with people who can help fix it. This is true for all school activities in your school district.
