Each student in NYC public schools brings to our school community the richness of our city’s cultural diversity and the desire for respect. It is the policy of the New York City Department of Education to maintain a safe and supportive learning and educational environment that is free from sexual harassment committed by students against other students. Such harassment is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated.
It is a violation of Chancellor’s A-831 Regulation and the Citywide Standards of Discipline and Intervention Measures for a student to harass another student through conduct or communication of a sexual nature, as defined below.
Students found guilty of violating this regulation will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action consistent with the Discipline Code and Chancellor’s Regulation A-443. (Sexual harassment of a student by an employee is prohibited, as set forth in Chancellor’s Regulation A-830.)
This policy is in effect on school grounds, school buses and at all school sponsored activities, programs and events.
A copy of Chancellor’s Regulations and the Discipline Code are available in the principal’s office and online at https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/rules-for-students/discipline-code
Student-to-student sexual harassment is conduct and/or communication by a student directed against another student. It may be unwelcome and uninvited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical conduct and other verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature which is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent to:
Such behavior can constitute sexual harassment whether it is directed at persons of the same or opposite sex.
Sexually harassing behavior may take many forms, including but not limited to:
It is the responsibility of each principal to designate a staff member to whom reports of student-to-student sexual harassment can be made.
Any student who believes that she/he has been the victim of sexual harassment by another student should immediately report the incident to the designated staff member or to any other school staff.
Complaints should be reported as soon as possible after the incident(s) so they can be effectively investigated and addressed.
Complaints of harassment may be made verbally or in writing using the Student Complaint/Reporting Form (A-831 and A-832).
Any staff member who witnesses student-to-student sexual harassment or who has knowledge or information or receives notice that a student may have been the victim of such behavior by another student is required to promptly verbally report the alleged act to the Sexual Harassment Prevention liaison or to the principal/designee within one (1) school day and submit the above form describing the incident to the RFA liaison or the principal/designee no later than two (2) school days after making the verbal report.
The Department of Education prohibits this behavior. Students who violate the Discipline Code will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action as outlined in the Citywide Standards and Chancellor’s Regulation A-831.
All reports of sexual harassment will be investigated as soon as possible, but not later than five days after the complaint is made. The principal/designee must take the investigative steps as stated in Chancellor’s Regulation A-831.
If the principal believes that the alleged conduct constitutes criminal activity, she/he must contact the police. Following completion of the investigation, the principal must issue a written report of his/her findings. This report must be issued within ten school days of receipt of the complaint. The school shall report the results of its investigation of each complaint filed under these procedures in writing to the complainant in accordance with state and federal laws regarding data or records privacy and consistent with the privacy of the alleged harasser.
The report shall include a determination of whether the allegations have been substantiated and whether they appear to be violations of Chancellor’s Regulation A-831.
The student who is victimized, the student who engages in the prohibited behavior, and student witnesses are entitled to receive appropriate supports and interventions, which may include referral to separate school based counseling and/or community-based agencies for counseling, support, and education. These supports can be provided before, during and after the school's investigation of the incident, as needed.
Retaliation against someone who reports an incident of harassment, bullying, intimidation or discriminatory behavior or who helps in an investigation is prohibited. Students who believe they have been retaliated against should immediately contact a school administrator.
