SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the Fairfield Public Schools to maintain a working and learning environment free from harassment, insults or intimidation on the basis of sex or sexual orientation. Sexual harassment is against the law and against school district policy -- Connecticut General Statutes Section 46a - 60, as amended, and Title VIII and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (29 C.F.R. SS1604.11).
Every student and staff member has the right to an environment free from profane, obscene or generally unacceptable displays of clothing, books, language, gestures, etc.
This policy will be applied equally to behavior between and among students, as well as between students and any member of our staff, professional and non-professional, and visitors.
Any student who wishes to register a complaint should see the Dean of Students for an application of grievance procedures.
