| HARASSMENT
- A Policy Statement
All
individuals and guests at St. Paul Lutheran
School are to be treated with respect and dignity.
St. Paul must be an environment that is free
from harassment and violence. It is a violation
of St. Paul's standards for students to harass
a person through conduct or communication that
is demeaning or physically harmful.
Harassment
is considered to be words and/or actions directed
toward an individual or group of individuals
which intimidates, degrades and/or fails to
respect another person's dignity. Harassment
includes, but is not limited to references made
to a person or groups based upon a person's
age, sex, race, religion, or ethnic origin.
Verbal comments, sexual name calling, gestures,
jokes, slurs, and spreading sexual rumors directed
toward an individual or groups are also considered
to be harassment. Sexual harassment is defined
as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, or other verbal or physical conduct
of a sexual nature.
We
will use the five-step plan as presented in this
booklet to cover the consequences for harassing
another person.
