Required Responses to Findings and Recommendation*

"It is unclear when or if the County school districts provide student training on recognizing sexual harassment and how to report it." Response to Finding F7: District recognizes the importance of ensuring staff and students are in a safe learning environment free from any form of harassment. District ensures teachers and staff are thoroughly trained on recognizing sexual harassment by way of observing behavioral changes in students, indicative of being harassed or abused. Additionally, teachers and staff learn the appropriate responses when unusual behavior is detected in a student suspected of being harassed or abused. District provides age-appropriate sexual harassment training through its Social Emotional Curriculum. This curriculum provides age-appropriate harassment training and includes teaching that harassment is not limited to activities inside the classroom but outside as well. How to report an incident is also thoroughly relayed to students. Harassment training is taught not only at the beginning of the school year by the teacher, but teachers are encouraged to reiterate its goal of a safe-learning environment throughout Gold Oak School • Sarah Carlin, Interim Principal • 3171 Pleasant Valley Road • Placerville, CA 95667 • 530-626-3160 Pleasant Valley School • Deborah Atkins, Interim Superintendent/Principal • 4120 Pleasant Valley Road • Placerville, CA 95667 • 530-644-9620 Gold Oak Union School District 3171 Pleasant Valley Road • Placerville, CA 95667 • 530-626-3150 www.gousd.org .
