If a student, his or her parent, or a responsible employee reports the sexual harassment, or a school employee observes the sexual harassment, the school should inform the harassed student (and the student's parent depending on the student's age) of the options for formal and informal action and of the school's responsibilities, which are discussed below. Resardless of whether the victim files a formal complaint or r.q.r.ri, action, the school must conduct a prompt, impartial, and thorough investigation to determine what happened and must take appropriate steps to resolve the situation.
If other sources, such as a witness to the incident, an anonymous letter or phone call, or the media, report the harassment, the school should respond in the same manner described above if it is reasonable for the school to conduct an investigation and the school can confirm the allegations. Considerations relevant to this determination may include, but are not limited to, the:
- ' source and nature of the information:
- ' seriousness of the alleged incident;
- 'specificity of the information;
- ' objectivity and credibility of the source that made the report;
- ' ability to identify the alleged victims; and
- ' cooperation from the alleged victims in pursuing the matter
