Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination which violates Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et seq., 20 U.S.C. 1681-86 (Title IX), and the Utah Anti-Discrimination Act, Utah Code 34-35-2 et seq.
It is policy of Spectrum Academy to maintain a learning and working environment that is free from sexual harassment. Spectrum Academy prohibits any form of sexual harassment. The School will train staff and students appropriately, and will take appropriate disciplinary action including warning, suspension, or termination, to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of sexual harassment.
Spectrum Academy adheres to all federal, state, and local civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and education. Spectrum Academy does not discriminate in its educational programs or activities, admissions practices, or employment practices on the basis of sex/gender. As a recipient of federal financial assistance for education activities, Spectrum Academy is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to ensure that all of its education programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex (includes sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and pregnancy or parenting status).
Spectrum Academy also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing discrimination or participating in any discrimination investigation or complaint process. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are forms of sex discrimination, which are prohibited under Title IX and by Spectrum Academy.
Any member of the school community, guest, or visitor who acts to deny, deprive, or limit the educational or employment opportunities and/or benefits of any member of the school community on the basis of sex is in violation of Spectrum Academy Policy.
Any person may report sex discrimination (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct), using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator (below) or the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education. A report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours).
