DUTY TO REPORT POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS
A.
Adults shall discuss with their building administrator or supervisor
whenever they suspect or are unsure whether their conduct, or the
conduct of other adults, is inappropriate or constitutes a violation of this
policy. If the adult is dissatisfied with the response of the building
administrator or supervisor, or does not feel comfortable discussing the
situation with those individuals, they may bring it to the attention of the
Chief of Human Resources. If the alleged behavior deals with
harassment, intimidation, or bullying, the process in Policy 4.30.060-P
should be followed. The District will investigate all complaints.
Any District employee who has reasonable cause to believe that another
adult has engaged in sexual conduct as defined by Prohibition Against
Employee Child Abuse and Sexual Conduct with Students 5.10.063-ADor
sexual abuse as defined by statute shall immediately report this
behavior to their school compliance officer and to the District Title IX
Director. Additionally, any District employee or other mandatory
reporter of abuse/neglect who has reasonable cause to believe that a
child has been abused must promptly fulfill the mandatory reporting
requirements to law enforcement and the Department of Human
Services and report the allegation to their principal or supervisor.
