THE NYC DISCIPLINE CODE AND CHANCELLOR’S REGULATION A-831 PROHIBIT SEXUAL HARASSMENT BY STUDENTS AGAINST OTHER STUDENTS
Sexual harassment includes 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. It is a violation of DOE policy for students to engage in this behavior on school property or off-school grounds when the behavior disrupts or endangers the school community.
If you feel that you have been the victim of, or witnessed, such behavior by another student, please let your teacher, counselor, the school-designated staff member listed below or someone else on the school staff know. If you feel uncomfortable making a report to a school staff member, you may confidentially contact the Office of Safety and Youth Development by emailing your complaint to RespectforAll@schools.nyc.gov. You may also make a confidential written report. Copies of the complaint form and Chancellor’s Regulation A-831 are available in the principal’s office or on the DOE’s website.
