Policy for Addressing Retaliation

The Policy for Addressing Retaliation outlines the school’s commitment to protecting individuals who report or oppose discrimination, harassment, or other unlawful or unethical conduct from any form of retaliation or reprisal. The policy defines retaliation, provides examples of prohibited behavior, and outlines the procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving complaints of retaliation. It may also address issues related to confidentiality, interim measures, and disciplinary actions for those found to have engaged in retaliation. The policy applies to all members of the school community, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators, and covers behavior that occurs on or off school grounds. The purpose of the Policy for Addressing Retaliation is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to speak up about misconduct without fear of reprisal, to hold those who engage in retaliation accountable for their actions, and to maintain a culture of integrity and respect.
