CIVIL RIGHTS AND PROHIBITION OF HARASSMENT, BULLYING, <br /> DISCRIMINATION AND HATE CRIMES <br /> The Mashpee School District prohibits all forms of harassment, discrimination, and hate <br /> crimes based on race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, <br /> age, or disability. The district also prohibits bullying or harassment of school community <br /> members for reasons unrelated to their race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sex, <br /> sexual orientation, age, or disability. <br /> Violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective action to correct <br /> and end the conduct, prevent its reoccurrence, and protect the complainant and other <br /> similarly-situated individuals from harassment, discrimination, hate crimes, retaliation, <br /> and bullying in the future. <br /> School-based complaints may be brought to the principal or the Equity Coordinator(EC). <br /> A report or complaint involving the EC should be filed with the superintendent; and a <br /> report or complaint involving the superintendent should be filed with the school <br /> committee. <br /> Any member of the school community who believes that he or she has been subjected to <br /> discrimination or sexual harassment is urged to report any incident of discrimination or <br /> harassment to the building principal or supervisor or the EC within thirty business days of <br /> the alleged incident. Upon a reported incident, the incident report/complaint form will be <br /> provided. <br /> On the basis of the principal's or EC's perception of the situation he or she may: <br /> 1. Attempt to resolve the matter informally through conciliation, <br /> 2. Report the incident and transfer the record to the superintendent or his/her <br /> designee and so notify the parties by certified mail, <br /> 3. Report the matter to the local police if criminal activity is potentially involved <br /> and seek the advice of legal counsel if necessary. <br /> 32 <br />
