School Committee Policy:
Sexual Harassment

Information Source on
Sexual Harassment

In its simplest expression, sexual harassment is unwelcome verbal or non-verbal actions or physical contact of a sexual nature that impacts on the conditions of employment.

Any employee who cannot resolve an incident of sexual harassment on an individual basis is strongly encouraged to report any incident of sexual harassment to his/her immediate supervisor, unless the complaint is about that individual, in which case the matter should be brought to the attention of any member of the supervisory staff or the next person in the chain of command.

The Hopkinton Public Schools strictly prohibits any form of sexual harassment.

To make a complaint, see School Committee policy to left.
