 Educator Sexual Misconduct
          2012-2013
Sexual Misconduct

 Walton County Public Schools provide
  an environment free from sexual
  harassment, both for our students
  and our employees. This is provided
  for in Board Policy GAEB/JCAC.
 School System personnel have a duty
  to protect students from known or
  reasonably foreseeable harm while
  under our care.
Sexual Harassment
 Sexual harassment surfaces as
  inappropriate visual, verbal and
  physical conduct directed by an adult
  to an adult, an adult to a student, a
  student to an adult, or a student to a
  student.
 Sexual harassment is, simply said, a
  form of unlawful discrimination based
  on sex.
Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to the
following behavior directed at an individual   .
 Unwelcome sexual advances or request for sexual
  favors.
 Unwelcome leering, staring, sexual flirtation or
  propositions.
 Unwelcome sexual slurs, epithets, threats, verbal
  abuse, derogatory comments or sexually degrading
  descriptions.
 Unwelcome graphic verbal comments about an
  individual’s body, or overly personal conversation.
 Unwelcome sexual jokes, stories, drawings, pictures
  or gestures.
Sexual Harassment
 Unwelcome spreading of sexual rumors.
 Unwelcome touching of an individual’s body
  or clothes in a sexual way.
 Cornering or blocking of normal movements
  in a sexual manner.
 Displaying sexually suggestive objects in
  the educational/work environment.
Two Forms of Sexual Harassment
 Quid pro Quo = “This for that”
  Quid pro Quo means “you do
  something for me and I’ll do
  something for you.” In simplest
  terms, it means sex for jobs or
  grades.
Hostile Environment Sexual
Harassment
 Hostile environment sexual harassment is
  the most prevalent form of sexual
  harassment. It generally involves a course
  of conduct rather than a single incident.
 For practical purposes, any unwelcome
  sexually oriented conduct or atmosphere
  that is so severe or pervasive that it is
  intimidating or offensive to a “reasonable
  person” of the same gender as the victim
  can be construed as hostile environment
  sexual harassment.
Sexual Misconduct
 Millions of students endure sexual
  misconduct by employees of their
  schools, ranging from inappropriate
  jokes to forced sex

Three Forms of Educator

 Physical: fondling, touching or sexual
  abuse
 Verbal: commenting on a student's body
  parts or making sexually explicit jokes

 Visual: showing sexually explicit
  photographs, or exposing one's genitals
Sexual Misconduct
 “includes behavior by an
educator that is directed at
 a student and intended to
sexually arouse or titillate
the educator or the child.”
                     Mary Jo McGrath
Sexual Abuse
 is defined as
       sex act
with a student!
Sexual Abuse of Students
A boundary violation
involving sexual
contact is more of a
process than a single
event.
Habitual Sex Offender Process

• “troll” for children with a weak
  sense of boundaries, targeting
  them for abuse,
• “groom” their victims with
   gifts and attention, and
• “lull” them into complacency,
   escalating the level of physical
   intimacy over time.
                         Mary Jo McGrath
Sexual Misconduct is not
determined by the
perpetrator’s intent, but how
it is perceived by the person
receiving the attention.

                      Mary Jo McGrath
Young people instinctively
   recognize these boundary
 violations and often nickname
 the employee engaged in such
violations a “pervert,” based on
    their perceived sense of
       inappropriateness.
                      Mary Jo McGrath

 Student Reporting
  of Acts of Sexual
  Abuse or Sexual
     Misconduct
Reporting Educator Sexual
Misconduct

Any student (or parent or friend of a
student) who has been the victim of
an act of sexual abuse or sexual
misconduct by a teacher,
administrator or other school
system employee is urged to make
an oral report of the act to any
teacher, counselor or administrator
at his/her school.
Reporting Educator Sexual Misconduct

Any school principal or principal’s designee
receiving a report of sexual abuse as defined in
O.C.G.A. 19-7-5 shall make an oral report
immediately, but in no case later than 24 hours
from the time there is reasonable cause to
believe a child has been abused. The report
should be made by telephone and followed by a
written report in writing, if requested, to a child
welfare agency providing protective services, as
designated by the Department of Human
Resources, or, in the absence of such agency,
to an appropriate police authority or district
attorney.
Reporting Educator Sexual Misconduct

 Reports of acts of sexual misconduct
 against a student that do not rise to the
 legal definition of sexual abuse shall be
 investigated immediately by school or
 system personnel. If the investigation
 provides a reasonable cause to believe
 that the report of sexual misconduct is
 valid, the school principal or principal’s
 designee shall make an immediate
 written report to the Superintendent and
 the Ethics Division of the Professional
 Standards Commission.
Student Method of Reporting
 Our students are encouraged to
  report all forms of harassment to
  their Principal, Counselor, or Teacher
  that they trust.
 Respect that trust and follow up with
  your Administrator on all reports of
  harassment and abuse.
Reporting Educator Sexual Misconduct

Any educator receiving a report of sexual
abuse or sexual misconduct of a student
by a teacher, administrator or other
employee shall make an oral report of the
incident immediately by telephone or
otherwise to the school principal or
principal’s designee, and shall submit a
written report of the incident to the
principal or principal’s designee within 24
hours.
Avoiding Allegations
         of
 Sexual Misconduct
Be Friendly Not a Friend
Conversations with students
should be warm, caring and
provide support for their learning
and growth.
Relationships should be
centered on school events and
activities.
Choose Appropriate Settings for
Meeting with Students
  Schedule student meetings
   at regular times and when
   other staff members are
   present.
 Hold meetings with
  individual students in rooms
  with a door open or with an
  unobstructed window view.
Choose Appropriate Settings for
Meeting with Students
 Do not remain in a classroom
  with a student outside of the
  regular school day without
  informing the principal.

  Do not make a habit of
   meeting students outside of
   school for a meal, soft drink,
   or a cup of coffee.
Choose Appropriate Settings for
Meeting with Students

   Do not transport students
    in your own vehicle.


  Do not entertain students in
   your home.
Communicating with Students

 Never use slang or vulgar
  language with students

 Don’t gossip about other
  students or staff

 You are the role model!
Electronic Communications
 Do Not give students a home or
  cell phone number or a personal e-
  mail address without
  administrative approval

 Never give a student a
  cell phone!!!!
Electronic Communications

 You are a private citizen, but
  you also are an educator!
Your out-of-school conduct can affect
your job security. What you post on a
blog, on MySpace, or on Facebook can be
accessed by students. If you wouldn't
want it on the front page of the local
newspaper, don't post it on the web!
Present a Professional Image

  Educators set an
  example and create
  expectations with their
  choice of clothing and
  accessories.
Dress Professionally
Clothing and grooming should
reflect the professional status of
the educator and should never be
provocative or distraction to
students.
Protect your
Certificate and the
 Integrity of Your
    Profession!
Establish and control
the boundaries in your
      professional
     relationships.
We judge ourselves by our best
intentions and most noble acts,
but we’re judged by our
last worst act.
How will
 You be
Judged?
