The Coaches

The UHSAA Code of Ethics for Athletic Coaches and Officials

Believing that my responsibility is an important part in the nationwide school athletic program,I pledge to act in accordance with these principles:

I. I will honor contracts regardless of possible inconvenience or financial loss.2. I will study the rules of the game, observe the work of the other coaches or officials and will, at

all times, attempt to improve the game and myself.3. I will conduct myself in such a way that attention is drawn not to me, but to the young people

playing the game.4. I will maintain my appearance in a manner befitting the dignity and importance of the game.5. I will cooperate with the news media in interpretation and clarification of rules and/or other areas

relating to good sportsmanship but I will not make statements concerning "calls"after a game.6. I will uphold and abide by all rules of the UHSAA and the National Federation.7. I will shape my character and conduct so as to be a worthy example to the young people who play

under my jurisdiction.8. I will give my complete cooperation to the school, which I serve,and to the UHSAA, which I

represent.9. I will cooperate and be professional in my association with other coaches or officials and will do

nothing to cause them public embarrassment.I 0. I will keep in mind that the game is more important than the wishes of any individual.

The coach must demonstrate and apply leadership, integrity, responsibility, self-control, knowledge of rules and regulations of the sport he/she is coaching, honesty and sportsmanship at all times on and off the playing field/court.It is necessary and important that the coach act in a responsible and professional manner at all times, because he/she represents the school, community, the profession, the faculty, and the student body. The coach must set a good example for those athletes he/she coaches.

Coaches must always keep in mind that essentially the game belongs to the players. The prim..,.,:·; justification for including the athletic program in the total school curriculum is based on the fact that athletics provide both physical and character values for those who participate in !hem. Student attain.men< of these values rests largely with the coaching profession.

Coaching is an extension of the educational process. It is necessary for players, coaches m,,.) officials to relate and "communicate" when there are concerns about a rule, a regulation, or any mntt.:·::'· concerning the welfare of all concerned. The coach must show respect, maintain proper bench e<•n(h;,.;·,· before, during, and after athletic contest, thereby assuring common courtesy and honesty when '""'" problem arises. The coach is probably the most influential person on the court/field and hislberwill reflect the actions of others.

Required Code of Ethics and Responsibilities

Inthe coaching profession, the primacy purpose of a code of ethics is to clarify and distinguish ethical and approved professional practices from those, which are detrimental and harmful. The ethics code and responsibilities, which follow, are required behaviors and as such are subject to sanctioning by Region Boards and the UHSAA Executive Committee.

Another purpose is to emphasize and confirm values of the athletic programs in schools across the nation.Applied to the coaching profession, ethics will help develop a standard of character in which the public has trust and confidence.The success of the principles and standards emphasized in the code is dependent upon those for whom they have been prepared -the coach.

A coach assumes certain obligations and responsibilities to the game, to the players, and to one's fellow coaches. It is essential that every member of the profession be constantly aware of these obligations and responsibilities so that the coaching profession will always remain an honorable one. Each member is to conduct him/herself in such a manner as to maintain the dignity and decency of the profession.

The coach should always be aware ofthe tremendous influence that he/she exertsfor good or bad. The coach should never place the value of victory above that of instilling the highest possible ideals and character traits in the players. The safety and welfare of the players should always be uppermost in one's mind and must never be sacrificed for personal prestige or glory.

Any attempts to teach unsportsmanlike conduct have no place in the coaching profession.Any coach guilty of such teaching, violates the basic purpose of high school athletics. The coach must set the example of winning without boasting and losing without bitterness.

It is important that the coach's conduct maintain the principles of integrity and dignity of the school, which employs him/her. School policies and the athletic program should be adhered to both in the letter and spirit.

A coach should assume that all members of the coaching profession intend to follow the precepts set forth in the code of ethics.All evidence of unethical conduct should be brought openly to the attention of the USHAA through prescribed channels. Sportswriters and sportscasters should not be used as an outlet for relieving iII feelings toward other coaches, players, officials or schools. ·

Therefore, as a professional educator, the coach must:

A. Exemplify the highest and moral character, behavior and leadership. B. Respect the integrity and personality of the individual athlete.C. Abide by the rules of the game in letter and spirit.D . Respect the integrity and judgment of sports officials, never baiting or taunting that official in

any way. The head coach is responsible for all bench personnel by rule.E. Demonstrate a mastery of and continuing interest in, coaching principles and techniques

through professional improvement.F. Encourage a respect for all athletics and the values they promote.

Provo City School DistrictPolicy Series 4000: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment

Policy No. 4006

Student Travel: Field Trips & Overnight Trips

The Provo City School District Board of Education recognizes that experiences beyond the classroom may provide meaningful enrichment for learning. The Board expects that as a foundational purpose, all such experiences - defined as a form of an authorized field trip - will have clear connections with the related curricular/co-curricular program. Such connections must have meaningful, relevant and defensible justifications to support missed class time,cost, etc. While student travel may include activities that are not part of the approved curriculum, it is understood that the general purpose of student travel is to supplement regular school educational programs.

Student Travel is defined in the following manner: I) Non-Overnight field trips.2) Overnight field trips of less than 270 miles distance from Provo and in-state.3) Overnight field trips of more than 270 miles distance from Provo, out of state.

The Board directs the superintendent to develop procedures for each of the Field Trip categories noted above to include:

I) Approval processes,2) Non-commercial sponsorship,3) Justifications for travel,4) Limitations on the number of overnight trips per group per school year,5) Risk Management Approval and Insurance6) Adherence to Deadlines for requests/approvals7) Chaperoning and Supervision of Students8) Emergencies, Accidents, and Student Discipline9) Trip organization and PlanningI 0) Costs and per-student charges, including chaperone expenses11) Fee waivers12) Fund-raising13) Travel Safety14) Transportation and Travel Arrangements15) Travel conditions, including national and international issues

To have a better chance of receiving approval, all travel arrangements must adhere to the procedures developed to accompany and implement this policy. In accordance with recent state guidance, the designated State Travel -contracted agency service must be used for all overnight trips.

Page 28: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

The Board is concerned about the financial demands placed upon families with a child/children wishing to participate in student travel events. All school sponsored activities are eligible for fee waivers for low income students, with the overall costs still needing to be met for the trip. Traditionally, the impact of fee waivers would be covered in any combination of the following: fund-raising, donations, levying additional costs on non-fee waiver students, and/or the costs would be absorbed by a school budget.

In an effort to protect overall financial impacts on families regarding student travel-along with all other impacts and concerns for travel - the board reserves the right to limit costs, distances, etc. of requested student travel. In so doing, the board may deny travel requests that would have excessive cost, undue loss of instructional time, minimal education value, and/or other characteristic(s) that the board would deem to result in an unworthy travel event.

The Board may be willing to approve international and/or longer trips under certain conditions, such as a trip by a curriculum-related language club to a related country. Such trip requests will be reviewed on an individual basis and considered on their own educational merits, but similar trip requests will not be approved for consecutive years."

Non-School District (private) trips such as "senior parties" or "graduation" trips that take place after high school graduation or trips sponsored by staff or parent groups outside of the regular school calendar are not approved, sponsored, or otherwise endorsed by the School District. These trips are private, and/or commercial ventures and are not District "field : There is no approval process since these are not school-sponsored trips, but the build' '[:'principal must be notified, prior to any trip promotion by a staff member, of any indepr '"k '· private trip organized by a staff member and involving school district students. Scho<ol communication systems, supplies, or equipment may not be used for the planning, p;,,.• ,:or conduct of such trips.

Provo City School DistrictPolicy Series 4000: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment

Student Travel: Field Trips and Overnight Trips4006 PI

Field Trips and Overnight Trips are subject to the criteria of' possessing a clear educational purpose per language in Policy 4006. Student Travel will not be approved if it is seen to be more of a vacation than an educationally defensible experience. Extended excursions should not be requested if comparable experiences are available closer to home. Students are not to remain overnight if it is practical to return home.

This procedure delineates all aspects related to student travel. Principals, teachers, coaches and other district staff intending to conduct Field Trips and/or Overnight Trips are required to follow all aspects of this procedure.

Trip TypesThree general categories of Field Trips/Overnight Trips may occur under Provo City SchoolDistrict oversight:

"Non-Overnight Field Trips" are approved at the school level by the building principal.

"Overnight Field Trips ofless than 270 miles from Provo and within the state of Utah"are approved by the superintendent and are to be submitted not later than three (3) weeks prior to the proposed event. Further criteria for approval of this type of overnight field trip are a) per-student costs of< $500, and b) no more than 2 school days missed.

"Overnight field trips of more.than 270 miles from Provo and out-of state" are approved by the PCSD Board of Education twice yearly, without exception. Approvals occur in the September and February business meetings of the Board. All applications must be submitted for Board review not later than two weeks prior to the respective board meeting. The Board will consider trip applications in this category that exceed the criteria noted in the two previously listed types of trips.

I. Approval ProcessesThe Board of Education respects the right of parents to take their own children to competitions or performances that are not approved by the Board or its designee. However, non-approved activities are not considered activities of Provo City School District and the district assumes no liability for these events. The use of the name or moniker of the district or its schools in fund raising, or in identifying supervisors who are district employees, is forbidden. All otheractivities or actions that imply district support of these events are also forbidden.

No student will be subjected to undue pressure to participate in school-sponsored travel activities. Non-participation in student travel may not result in loss of credit, reduction of grade, removal from a team or any other negative consequence to students.

Page 30: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

Though a final number of students participating in an upcoming travel and /or field trip may not be exact, travel requests needing approval from the Superintendent or Board of Education must be submitted well in advance of the proposed excursion.

Parent ApprovalParents/guardians must provide written consent for all travel. A parent/guardian consent form may be signed at the beginning of each school year giving permission for students to participate in all regularly scheduled local field trips. Overnight trips require a separate consent from that is specific to the particular trip. Overnight trip consent forms must include the nature of all of the activities in which the student will participate. They must also include permission to participate signature Iine(s), emergency contact telephone numbers, and permission to provide emergency medical care. All such documentation must be in hand not later than 24 hours prior to departure. The staff sponsor is required to take a copy of all such documents with him/her on the trip. A copy of this same documentation must be left at the school.

Principal ApprovalWhile some travel requests receive final approval by the Superintendent and/or Board of Education, all travel must first be approved and recommended by the principal after safety, supervision and educational justification have been verified.

When the principal is forwarding applications on to the superintendent and the board for approval, all criteria on the form must be clearly and defensibly addressed, and all appropriate signatures are to be in place. The application forms being approved are considered to be binding in that no material variation of the approved plans will be permitted. "Material variation" is defined as no increase in cost per student, no levying of additional fees, no additional days of school missed, etc.

The principal and event sponsor must also be prepared to address concerns around testing schedules and fee waivers, in addition to all other aspects of this procedure.

II. Non-Commercial SponsorshipSchool employees are not to solicit students to participate in any commercial or non-school sponsored trip or excursion. District approved and sponsored trips will not occur through for profit agencies.

III. Justifications for TravelThe study of curriculum at the school site provides the basis for student learning in Provo City School District. However, meaningful activities and field trips can enhance the learning and experience for students and are supported by the Board and district administration. To be considered for approval, an activity or field trip must meet the following criteria:

• Has a high degree of educational value and serves a definite educational purpose• Enhances the quality of students' educational experience and does not disrupt the

basic educational program• Originates from a current unit of study and is appropriate for the age and maturity

level of the group

Page 31: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

• Provides understanding to students of the purpose of the trip and the expected learning outcomes

• Assures student safety and meets requirements for appropriate liability insurance

Extra-curricular Trips include travel by such groups as academic teams, athletic teams, performance teams, and other school recognized groups to recognized UHSAA meets, workshops, or other forms of state and national competition that enhance the participants' skills and performance. These trips must also meet the criteria detailed above.

Overnight travel for elementary and middle school students is not part of these educational programs and can only be approved by the Board of Education. An exception may be granted to an individual student or group that wins a competition supported by the district and qualifies for state or national competition. Fifth Grade Camp would be another notable exception.

IV. Limitations on the number of overnight trips per group per school year.No high school group may participate in more than two overnight trips during any school year, nor miss more than two school days on any one trip. This applies to school groups, not to individual students who are participant in approved overnight travel with multiple school groups. Overnight trips for elementary and middle school students are discouraged but may be allowed with the permission of the Board of Education.

The two-day limit is waived for overnight trips emanating from qualification in national academic competitions, namely, DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, VICA, HOSA, TSA, Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair. The Superintendent must approve this travel.

V. Risk Management Approval and InsurancePart of the approval process includes that requirement that all PCSD-sponsored trips are subject to review by the Utah State Risk Management agency. If Risk Management recommends that a proposed travel event (or portion thereof) does not meet appropriate standards, the trip will not be approved and/or the portion of the trip must be adjusted.

Following trip approval, Utah State Risk Management services will provide Provo City School District with liability insurance. However, as part of the approval process the Board or Superintendent may require additional risk insurance to protect the financial status of the district and to help families cover expenses should an accident occur. A detailed itinerary must be submitted for Utah State Risk Management approval. Once approved, the itinerary cannot be changed.

VI. · Adherence to Deadlines for Trip Approvals.Advance principal approval for Non-Overnight Field Trips may occur on an as-needed timetable that works for the school, taking into consideration the requirements of making travel arrangements and providing ample notification to parents.

Advance superintendent approval for Overnight field trips of less than 270 miles from Provo and within the state of Utah requires that all request forms and accompanying documentation be

Page 32: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

submitted to the superintendent's office not later than three (3) weeks prior to the proposed event.

Advance Board of Education approval Overnight field trips of more than 270 miles from Provo and out-of state takes place at the Board's business meetings twice each school year; in September and February. Trip sponsors must plan well in advance to obtain Board approval, and must submit all related documentation to the superintendent's office not less than three weeks prior to the meeting where the application will be considered. No other provisions are available for Board- approved Student Travel outside of the September and February board meetings.

It is a violation of this Policy and Procedure to conduct any form of Student Travel without having advance approval and without following all applicable aspects of these procedures.

VII. Chaperoning and Supervision of StudentsWhenever students travel, there shall be adequate and mature supervision to provide for the safety of the students.

Students should never be left behind and or unsupervised while under the custody of the district.

Trip sponsors will provide (and principals will ensure) enough supervision to assure the safety ofstudents. While this supervision will vary across activities, the minimum supervision allowed will be one (I) chaperone to ten (10) students.

If both male and female students will be attending the overnight trip, both male and female chaperones are required.

Care should be exercised in selecting adult supervisors. All trip chaperones are, by definition, volunteers and therefore must pass a fingerprint/background check. They should be persons of good report, a minimum of21 years of age, preferably older. Chaperones should be the parents or teachers of the participating students. Other supervisors (if used) must be prior approved by the principal. Older siblings of student participants in the trip are discouraged. Supervisors may not share private sleeping rooms, such as motel rooms, with students other than their own children.

VIII. Emergencies, Accidents, and Student DisciplineIn case of an emergency occurring during the trip the chaperone is authorized to make those adjustments necessary to insure the safety and well-being of the students and will immediately report the emergency to the principal of the school. All circumstances related to any accident will be documented and reported in writing to the district business administrator (risk management officer).

Academic and behavior standards shall be established prior to trip approval by the principal and published by the teacher on the approval form. Participants in any travel experience should be students in good academic and behavioral standing and approved for travel as per the published standards for the trip and outlined in this policy. Students who travel under the name of the school and adults who supervise that travel become role models for others and help establish and

41Page 4006 Pi Student Travel: Field Trips and Overnight Trips

Page 33: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

maintain the reputation of the school and district. Behavior and conduct of students and chaperones fall under the rules and policies for the school, district and State Code (Reference: Utah Code 53A-11-908), in addition to the specific standards adopted for the event. Members of the travel group who violate the behavior expectations outlined will be sent home from the travel experience and will travel home at their own expense.

IX. Trip Organization and PlanningExtended excursion planning should be started as far as possible in advance of the trip to permit adequate time for students to earn the necessary funds. Representative students and parents should be involved in all phases of trip planning. A parent information meeting is required for overnight travel. The school must provide evidence of substantial support by members of the group and their parents prior to principal approval.

Trip sponsors are required to develop complete itineraries, including daily 24-hour plans and activity listings. Also included in the documentation will be room assignments, code of conduct expectations, curfew requirements, and buddy groups. Assuming students will be bringing cell phones on the trip, a complete list of student and chaperone cell phone numbers will be compiled and available for chaperone use.

As noted in section XV below, all travel arrangements are required to go through the contractedUtah state travel agency.

X. Costs and per-student charges, including chaperone expensesThe cost of travel shall be kept as low as reasonably possible without compromising the safety of the students and chaperones involved. No student at any grade level shall be denied participation due to lack of funds if the excursion takes place during the school day. For more extended student travel, students will be encouraged to participate in approved fund-raising projects.Trips sponsors are discouraged from levying an amount per student to cover chaperone costs.

Trip sponsors may be concerned about needing some funds while on the trip. If so, they must make arrangements to access funds in advance of the trip. All receipts and unused funds must be returned to the school finance secretary immediately after the conclusion of the trip. The Provo City School District finance office will provide assistance to the designated school travel contact person in dealing with use of p-card and/or cash advances, and financial reconciliations related to each trip. All such records are subject to audit.

The school will designate a travel contact person who will coordinate travel arrangements per the directions in this policy and procedure. That individual will handle all trip arrangements and wi!I coordinate with the Provo City School District purchasing office.

XI. Fee WaiversAll PCSO-approved trips are required by law to be eligible to all students regardless of a student's ability to pay for the trip. Trip sponsors cannot deny students participation in the trip due to an inability of the student to meet the cost. For this reason, all trips should be designed to incur as little cost to students as possible. Per state law fee waiver students may be required to participate in fund raising activities.

XII. Fund-raisingAll approved fundraising will be in accordance with district fundraising policy and procedure.

Fundraising conducted to provide funds for student travel must be approved by the principal Individual students may not be assessed amounts to fundraise. However, general fundraisers may be held.

XIII. Travel SafetyThe safety of participants is of primary concern when travel occurs. Schools are to provide clear safety instructions to students and chaperones prior to leaving for a travel experience and review safety instructions periodically during extended travel experiences. Travel planning should include consideration of weather conditions and provide for cancellation or extended travel time in the case of inclement weather conditions. Except when taking school buses, all passengers will wear seat belts while traveling under the approval of Provo City School District or its designees.

XIV. Transportation and Travel ArrangementsUnder no conditions is travel approved with student drivers. Students are never approved to drive other students to, from or during school-sponsored events.

Elementary school travel ten or more miles from the school requires use of a district bus or licensed public carrier. However, the student may travel with his/her own parent. Elementary school travel less than ten miles from the school may be provided by staff and parents who are willing to assume all legal liability associated with personal transportation, and have competed the online risk management driver video training and test.

Secondary school travel requires the use of a district bus or licensed public carrier. However, the student may travel with his/her own parent. With approval from the principal (day trips) or superintendent (overnight trips), chaperones may transcript small groups of secondary students in private, rental, or district-owned vehicles. Secondary school travel less than ten miles from the school may be provided by staff and parents who are willing to assume all legal liability associated with personal transportation, and have completed the online risk management course.

All student travel arrangements must be booked through the contracted Utah state travel agency and in accordance with state travel regulations. No arrangements with other travel agents, including those who have a connection with the school/program/trip sponsor are authorized.

All drivers of private vehicles must sign the Provo City School District Authorization to Transport Students Form (insert Form# here), providing evidence of a current driver's license and automobile insurance that meets the state minimum liability requirements, and completion of)tate Risk Management online training. All drivers of rental vehicles must obtain insurancehrough the rental company. All trips shall be planned to minimize danger through wise choice

Page 35: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

No student of any age should travel anywhere alone with a staff member or parent, other than his or her own parent.

Extended travel should not be initiated after I 0:00pm and should end prior to midnight, unless it takes place on a commercial carrier.

XV. Travel ConditionsTravel shall not be approved if unsafe conditions exist. If unsafe conditions arise after-travel has been approved, travel shall be cancelled or changed accordingly. Prior to departure on a trip, the Principal Superintendent and/or Board reserves the right to conduct a safety review of the trip and to cancel the trip if conditions warrant such action. Unsafe conditions include, but are notlimited to adverse weather conditions, outbreaks of serious, communicable diseases and actual orthreatened violence or terrorism. If relevant, US State Department Travel Warnings will be taken into account: if a country/destination appears on the Travel Waming list, the trip will be denied and/or cancelled. Should a trip be cancelled due to safety concerns, the school and/or district will not reimburse travelers for unrecoverable lost fees. Therefore, the districtencourages travelers to secure cancellation insurance (at their own expense) to provide protection against possible trip cancellation.

Foreign travel will generally not be considered except for groups associated with foreign language classes (i.e., German, French, Spanish, etc.) and then only for students who have · successfully completed academic work in the content area.

XVI. ConclusionWhile the district administration and Board of Education recognize the educational value of off campus experiences, it should not be assumed that making application for travel approval means the travel will always be approved. The Board and Superintendent expect that any application for extended travel has sound educational justification and meets the high expectations of the district for student safety and financial equity;

Applications for extended 'travel are more likely to gain travel approval if: I. There is high educational value.2. The cost per student is not excessive3. Minimal school time is missed.4. There are not'equivalent opportunities that are closer and less expensive.5. Safety concerns have been met and cleared.6. Adequate insurance is built into the plan.7. Sufficient student and parent support exists to make the trip a viable education experience

and worth the expense.8. Advance planning is such that adequate time and methods exist to earn money for the trip.9. Fee-waiver students have the opportunity to participate in the trip and the school has

adequate resources to cover the fee waivers.10. No pressure is placed on non-participating students who are members of the group.II. The group has been reasonable in its previous travel requests (location and cost) and has had

success in previous travel (i.e., no problems).

12. Students will be able to meet established and required school, state, and/or national testing schedules.

FINANCIAL HANDBOOKTimpview High

This handbook is· intended to provide procedures and direction to staff on the handling of money, These procedures are based on state law, district policy, and best practice to ensure that all funds are handled appropriately.

Public Funds & Booster FundsTo clarify school fund raising from booster activities, the following general guidelines are provided. Public funds shall be defined as any activity that involves:

1. School/district employee acting in an official capacity, i.e. coaches/advisors raising funds to support their programs.

2. School/district assets, i.e. school property.3. School/district name and/or identity.

Funds from school fundraisers must be treated as public money, and all district/school financial policies and procedures must be followed.

Booster activities function outside the purview of the school and are clearly separated from school fundraising efforts. These activities originate and are managed by individuals not directly associated with the school. Booster groups may receive the following:

1. Advice from school employees, i.e. coaches/advisors identifying areas of need or support for school programs.

2. Rental of school facilities.3. Use of the school name and/or identity, so long as it is clear to all patrons that the

activity is associated with the booster group and not the school.

Booster groups may not:

1. Make any purchases in the name of the school or use the school/district's taxemption number.

Clearly distinguishing school funds from booster funds is critical to ensure that all state statutes and district policies are followed.

Money CollectionAll student fees and money may only be collected by the Financial Secretary. When money is collected the student will receive a receipt as proof of payment. In addition, staff may request a list of students that have paid various fees from the Fimincial Secretary.

Provo City School DistrictPolicy Series 6000 Finances and Operations

Donation and Fundraising Policy

Policy No. 6110

PurposeThe Provo School District Donation and Fundraising Policy encourages community partnerships that strengthen and enhance school programs and creates a climate of participation and cooperation between community organizations, private citizens, and the district's schools by:

• Sharing resources that benefit students and improve educational programs.• Involving the schools and the private sector in cooperative efforts that enhance the

quality of education for students at all levels.• Protecting students, parents, teachers, and school administrators from over

commercialization and fundraising efforts that are exploitative, coercive, disruptive to the educational process, threatening to the health and welfare of students, or lacking in educational merit.

• Implementing a smooth and orderly procedure whereby schools and communities cancooperate and share resources.

• Assuring public funds are safeguarded and are properly accounted for in a transparent manner.

• The District will manage, restrict or decline funds, gifts, or fundraising activities to assure that fundraising and expenditures comply with applicable district and state and federallaw and guidelines, including Title IX.

Guiding PrinciplesTo further the Purpose articulated hereinabove, the District is guided by the following fundamental principles:

The District encourages the contributions of gracious donors who have the resources and the inclination to augment the District's programs through philanthropy. The District is committed to effectively work with such donors to:

Provide the donation receipts that are mandated by law and encourage appropriate. acknowledgment, and facilitate the donor's charitable intent to the extent that it is in harmony with the educational goals of the district and approved by appropriate district personnel. Donation receipts for in-kind donations are to list the item(s) donated only. No value is to be assigned in-kind donations by the district on the donation receipt or acknowledgement.

The District desires to provide reasonable regulation of the process of fundraising and accepting charitable gifts. Such regulation should include principles of accountability, record keeping, and

Page 50: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

appropriate protocols for safeguarding donated funds and protecting confidential information, and proper use of the tax-exempt status.

The District shall equitably distribute state approved tax revenue funds for its schools' primary educational functions. Those funds work to ensure that each school receives the fundamental educational supplies, materials, instructional equipment, and personnel necessary for the education of all students.

Fundraising is permitted within the district to allow the district and schools to raise additional funds to augment academic and co-curricular programs and to engage private citizens and community organizations in elevating the education and opportunities of the district's students.

The District recognizes that donations and fundraising efforts and results, may vary between schools. The District is, however, committed to appropriate distribution of unrestricted funds and the management of fundraisingldonations to assure that the educational opportunities of all of its students are reasonably similar and in compliance with applicable legal standards. TheDistrict is also committed to assisting and encouraging school administrators and staff in proven, successful fundraising principles and practices that will allow schools to augment their budgeted programs with charitable funds.

The District is committed to principles of gender equity and will use its facilities, unrestricted gifts, and other district funds in harmony with those principles (Title IX). The District recognizes that fundraising is driven by a donor's inclination for giving and that private donations may be directed or restricted by individual donors. While reasonable efforts will be made to use donations and fundraising revenues as designated, these funds are revenue of the District and can be used at the District's discretion to assure that educational opportunities are compliant with applicable legal standards.

The District will provide a healthy environment for appropriate fundraising by promoting student safety, reducing the pressure placed on students, and decreasing the prospect of excessive or duplicative soli<;itation of funds.

The District is ultimately responsible for the expenditure and allocation of all monies including those that are obtained through fundraising and gifts. As such, District procurement policies must be followed, and donations may not be specifically directed to any specific vendor or employee.

Officially Sanctioned Fundraising ActivitiesSchools, student clubs and organizations, sports teams, individual classes, booster clubs, PTA's and PTO's, and the community councils within the Provo School District may conduct fundraising activities for the benefit of the schools, students, and student organizations within the District. This policy provides guidelines for those fundraising efforts and a means for giving approval for such activities.

lEARNMORE

you establish your initiaStudents establish their initial eligibility when they attend high school for the first time OR when they tryout and are selected as a member of a high school team.

When a 9th grader from a junior high school tries out for and is selected as a member of a high school team (Freshman,Sophomore,JV or Varsity), they have established their eligibility at that high school and are not eligible at another high school. An unsuccessful tryout does not establish a student's initial eligibility; however,it does end a student's sport season preventing them from trying outfor the same sport at a different high school that same school year.

Students and parents/guardians are encouraged to learn the rules, consider their options and carefully "choose" where they want to establish their initial eligibility.

What happens if you transfer schools? According to the UHSAA Transfer Rule,a student transferring from one high school to another high school is NOT ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE in UHSAA athletics (at any level) for twelve months from the first day of attendance at the new school. The Transfer Rule also applies to students transferring to an alternative high school or transferring in from out-of-state.

If a student enrolls at a new school during the summer,they will not be eligible for activities until the following school year, sitting out from one summer to the next.

Can the UHSMwaive the ineligibility? The UHSAA has the discretion to waive the period of

ineligibility when a student transfers to a new school as the result of a bona fide change of residence,recent divorce or documented hardship. The change of residence shall be into the estab lished attendance area of the high school to which the transfer is made. A hardship is defined "as an unforeseeable, unavoidable, and uncorrectable act, condition or event which causes the imposition of a severe and non-athletic burden upon the student and/or his/her family." In the case of a bona fide change of residence or re cent divorce,parents or legal guardians must submit a completed "Change of Resi dence" application,required signatures and supporting documents to the UHSAA office. In the case of a hardship,a completed "Hardship Waiver" application, re quired signatures and third party documentation must be submitted for review.A "Change of Residence" or "Hardship" application can be submitted to the UHSAAafter the student has enrolled at the new school or upon proof of enrollment during the summer. Allow 4-6 weeks for a final decision to be made and the family and school will notified by the UHSAA. A student is ineligible to compete for their new school until they have sat out 12 months or they have been notified by the UHSAA their transfer application was approved. Ineligible students are allowed to practice.

ImPACT™(\

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Timpview High School is currently implementing an innovative progtatn for our student-athletes. Titis progtatn will assist our team physicians/athletic trainerS in evaluating and treating head injuries (e.g., concussion). In order to better manage concussions sustained by our student-athletes, we have acquired a software tool called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing). ImPACT is a computerized exam utilized in many professional, collegiate, and high school sports progtatns across the country to successfully diagnose and manage concussions. If an athlete is believed to have suffered a head

. injury during competition, ImPACT is nsed to help determine the severity of head injury and when the injuryhas fully healed

The computerized exam is given to athletes before beginning contact sport practice or competition. This non-invasive test is set up in "video-game" type format and takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. It is simple, and actually many athletes enjoy the challenge of taking the test. Essentially, the ImPACT test is a preseason physical of the brain. It tracks information such as memory, reaction time, speed, and concentration. It, however, is not an IQ test.

If a concussion is suspected, the athlete will be required to re-take the test. Both the preseason and post injury test data is given to a local doetor or, to help evaluate the injury. The information gathered can also be shared with your family doetor. The test data will enable these health professionals to determine when return to-play is appropriate and safe for the injured athlete. If an injury of this nature occurs to your child, you will be promptly contacted with all the details.

I wish to stress that the ImPACT testing procedures are non-invasive, and they pose no risks to your student athlete. We are excited to implement this progtatn given that it provides us the best available information for managing concussions and preventing potential brain damage that can occur with multiple concussions. The Timpview administration, coaching, and athletic training staffs are striving to keep your child's health arid safety at the forefront of the student athletic experience. Please return the attached page with the appropriate signatures. If you have any further questions regarding this progtatn please feel free to contact me at801-221-9720 [email protected]. ·

Sincerely,

Ben RossTimpview Athletic Trainer

A FACT SHEET FOR ATHLETES

What is a concussion?A concussion is a brain injury tha :• Is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head

or body.• Can change the way your brain normally works.,• Can occur during practices or games in any sport

or recreational activity.• Can happen even if you haven't been knocked out.• Can be serious even if you've just been "dinged"

or "had your bell rung."

All concussions are serious. A concussion can affect your ability to do schoolwork and other activities (such

'07 as playing video games, working on a computer, studying, driving, or exercising). Most people with a

( ·. concussion get better, but it is important to give your brain time to heal.

What are the symptoms of a concussion?You can't s·ee a concussion, but you might.noticeone or more of the symptoms listed below or that you"don't feel right" soon after, a few days after, or even weeks after the injury.• Headache or "pressure" in head• Nausea or vomiting• Balance probl ms• Double or blurry vision• Bothered by.light or noise• Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy• Difficulty paying attention .• Memory problems• Confusion

What should I do if 1 think Ihave a concussion?• Tell your coaches and your parents. Never ignore a

bump or blow to the head even if you feel fine. Also, tell your coach right away if you think you have a concussion or if one of your teammates might have a concussioll';

• Get a medical check-up. A doctor or other healthcare professional can tell if you have a concussion and when it is OK to return to play.

• Give yourself time to get better. If you have a concussion, your brain needs time to heal. While your brain is still healing, you are much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the time it takes for you to recover and may cause more damage to your brain. It is important to rest and not return to play until you get the OK from your health care professional that you are symptom-free.

How can I prevent a concussion?Every sport is different, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself. ·• Use the proper sports equipment, including personal

protective equipment. In order for equipment to protect you, it must be:. . . ..- The right equipment for the game, position, or acti;nty- Worn correctly and the correct size and fitc Used every time you play or practice

• Follow your coach's rules for safety and the rules of the sport.

• Practice good sportsmanship at all times.

It's better to miss one game than the whote season.

A FACT SHEET FOR

What is a concussion?A concussion is a brain injury. Concussions are caused bya bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body. Even a "ding," "getting your bell rung," or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.

What are the signs and symptoms?You can't see concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussioncan show up right after the injul)' or may not appear or be noticed until days after the injury. If your teen reports oneor more symptoms of concussion listed below, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, keep your teen out of play and seek medical attention right away.

• Headache or "pressure•

• Ensure that they follow their coaches' rules for safety and the rules of the sport.

• Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times.

What should you do if you think your teen has a concussion?1. Keep your teen out of play. If your teen has a concussion,

herjhis brain needs time to heaL Don't let your teen return to play the day of the injury and until a healthcare professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says your teen is symptom-free and it's OK to return to play. A repeat concussion that occurs before the brainrecovers from·the first-usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks)-can slow recovery or increase the Hkelihood of having long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in edema (brain swelling), permanent brain damage, and even death.

• Forgets an instruction• Is unsure of game,

score, or opponent• Moves clumsily• Answers questions slowly• Loses. consciousness

2. Seek medical attention right away. A health care profes- (sional experienced in evaluating for concussion will be ableto decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your teen to return to sports.

3. Teach your teen that it's not smart to play with a concussion.Rest is key after a concussion. Sometimes athletes wronglybelieve that it shows strength and courage to play injured. Discourage others from pressuring injured athletes to play. Don't let your teen convince you that sjhe's "just fine."

4.Tell aU of your teen's coaches and the student's school nurse about ANY concussion.Coaches, school nurses, and other school staff should know if your teen has ever had a concussion. Your teen may need to limit activities while sjhe is recovering from a concussion. Things such as studying, driving, working on a computer, playing video games, or exercising may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse. Talk to your health care professionaas well as your teen's coaches, school nurse, and teachers. If needed, they can help adjust

How can you help your teen prevent a concussion?Every sport is different, but there are steps your teens can taketo protect themselves from concussion and other injuries.• Make sure they wear the right protective equipment for

b. A medical evaluation is required before returning to play.2. In the event that a student's parent(s) cannot be reached,and the student is able to be sent home

(rather than directly to MD):• The LEA's agent should insure that the student will be with a responsible individual, who

is capable of monitoring the student and understanding the home care instructions, before · allowing the student to go home.

• The LEA agent should continue efforts to reach a parent• If there is any question about the status of the student, or if the student cannot be monitored

appropriately, the student should be referred to an Emergency Department for evaluation.An LEA's agent should accompany the student and remain with the student until a parent arrives.

• The LEA's agent shall provide for supervision of other students for whom he or she is·responsible when accompanying the injured student

Students with suspectedhead injuriesshould not be permitted to drive home.

3. LEA agents should seek assistance from the host site certified athletic trainer (ATC) or team physician, if available, at an away contest if the injury occurs at a formal athletic contest ·

Return to Play (RTP) Proeednres Mter Concussion

1. Return to activity and play is a medical decision.The student must meet all of the following criteria in order to progress to activity:

a. Asymptomatic at rest and with exertion (including mental exertion in school) ANDb. have written clearancefrom the student's primary care provider or concussion specialist

(student must be cleared for progression to activity by a physician other than an Emergency Room physician,if diagnosed with a concussion).

2. Once the above criteria are met, the student will be progressed back to foilactivity following the step wise process detailed below.(This progression must be closely supervised by an LEA agent If your school does not have an athletic trainer, then the coach must have a very specific plan to follow as directed by the athlete's physician).

/ 3. Progression is individualized,and will be determined on a case-by-case hasis. Factors that may affect the rate ofprogression include:previous history of concussion,duration and type of symptoms, age of

the student, and sport/activity in which the student participates.An athlete/student with a prior .history of concussion, one who has had an extended duration of symptoms, or one who is participating (in a collision or contact sport may be progressed more slowly.

4. Stepwise progression as described below:

. Step 1.Complete cognitive-rest This may include staying home from school or limiting school hours (and studying) for several days.Activities requiring concentration and attention may worsen symptoms and delay recovery.Step 2.Return to school full·time.Step 3.Light exercise.This step cannot begin until the student is no longer having conCussion symptomsand is cleared by a physician for further activity.At this point the athlete may begin walking or riding anexercise bike.No weight lifting.Step 4.Running in the gym or on the field.No helmet or other equipmentStep 5.Non-contact training drills in full equipment Weight training can begin.Step 6. Full contact practice or training.Step 7.Play ingame. Must be cleared by physician before returning to play.

• The student should spend 1to 2 days at each step before advancing to the next If post concussion symptoms occur at any step, student must stop the activity and the treating physician must be contacted. Depending upon the specific type and severity of thesymptoms. thestudent may be told to restfor 24 hours and then resume activityat a level one step below where he or she was at when the symptoms occurred.This resumption of activity could be considerably simplified for a student injured during recess compared to a student injured at a game or formal practice.

Potential Problem Areas

While current Utah law designates that a student may be returned to play by "an appropriate health care (provider" it is the prerogative of each LEA to designate the credentials Df the pi'OIIiders from whDm theywill accept clearance.This is a veryimportantdecisioo and shooJd be made after careful consideration by the athletic dir'!!Ctor, prindpal.superintendent,teadler (elementary),and parent(s).Theschool district's liability carrier may alsD be consulted.

For students injured during fDrmal competitiDDS,serii)US consideratiDn must also be given as to what the school will dD in the case where an athlete is dearly stillhaving roncussioo symptoms,yet given return to play clearance by a health care provider.A fDrmal policy should be developed which designates a specific individual{preferably an expert in the field of conc:ussion management- typically a physician w neuropsychDIDgist) who shall evaluate the athleteand malrethe:final decisiDn regarding returnto play.

ISSUESAND STRATEGIES RELATED .

TO NEGLIGENCE AVOIDANCEasp1ects of an interscholastic athletics program. Generally, negligence allegations cite

lilrJriss,ion of a haZardous act or omission of reasonable act or duty (failure to act) in the manc:e In either case, acts of omission or commission may

both as the actual cause and the proximate cause of an i1/iury. To examine this conceptcompletely, several vocabulary terms and principles are presented hereunder.

Voc ;tbulary, Cautions and Considerations Related to Athletics Practices

·• · ACCIDENT- an unforeseeable,unpredictable and uncontrollable set of circumstances that· causes loss or harm without negligence or carelessness by supervisors. For legal purposesan accident may also be called an "Act of God" (e.g.A set of circumstances beyond

. control, e.g. an accidental collision of two players chasing a loose ball during a contest.) ASSUMPTION OF RISK- A traditional defense against negligence. allegations. A player accepts some risk for obvious hlizards inherent in a sport by participation in athletics

. programs of free will. Players and their parents cannot assume risk for hazards that are not,readily apparent (e.g.the danger in making a head-down football tackle). This defense

is no longer widely accepted as a mitigating circumstance. ...ATIRACTIVE NUISANCE-EQUIPMENT- Facilities that are naturally appealing to young people but when unsupervised are also inherently dangerous (e.g. an unlocked and unsupervised swim pool, weight room or rehabilitation facility). ·

.· BREACH OF DUTY- Failure of a supervisor to carry out a responsibility (omission) or performance of an act that result;; in injury or loss (commission).

·. COMMISSION- Refers to an unsafe act that resulted in injury or loss (e.g. players suffered he!lt stroke when a coach committed an unsqfe act by requiring the football team to run wind sprints in full equipment for 30 minutes in high temperatures and humidity.)COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE- A provision oflaw that attributes a percentage of responsibility to the plaintiff and/or the defendant in detennining liability for injury or loss. CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE - Dangerous or unthili.king behavior on the part ofan injured that contributed to an injurious event despite warnings, prohibitions and appropriate safety instruction..

·· 8. DUTY- A moral obligation or responsibility (e:g. coaches have duty to maintain a hazard-free practice and competitive environment by conducting regular inspections). ·

9. FORESEEABILITY- An identifiable dangerous physical condition or hazardous practice that could lead to harm or loss (e.g.It is foreseeable that athletes could be injured when playing soccer on fields that have deep ruts).

10. LIABILITY -An obligation to compensate for damages or loss.11. OMISSION- Failure to perform a duty or responsibility that resulted in injury or loss.

(Coach leaves athletes alone in a gym. Failure to supervise results in horseplay by athletes that causes a serious injury.)

12. PROXIMATE CAUSE- THE PRIMARY CAUSOF AN INJURY OR LOSS. (Aplayer is struck by a car and injured while crossing the street to practice.) Several factors

Page 139: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

-win be considered as the potential pro tl'iate.. These include tbe player's actions, the driver's condition or the condition ofautpn),obile\\'el!therlvisibility, directions given to fu\;pmyGI \lJ tmOOII&h11114 Qftbe plaier, ... . . •.. ....· .·.

13. PRUDENT PROFESSIONALISM- a riSk m@a tilit'Sfraiegy that requires an ongoing.groactiye effort by coaches and athletics administrators to develop and implement plans designed to reduce or transfer the hazards and risks inherent in an athletics Program.Note thatthis obligation' requires a special effort by coaches and athletiCs directors bei:ause of the uniq11e natllre of the knowledge, slrills and hazards iizherent is sport activities.

14. RAGE TO SUE -An llllger level that may develop when a coach's aloof: condescendingor uncaring attitude is coupled with a breach of one or more duties. ·

15. RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR- The negligence of a coach may be imputed to a supervisor. who may also be held accountable for hiring an incompetent coach when it is determined that the coach's fiillure to act or ihe actions of a coach contributed tO an injury or loss. The employer is not responsible for an employee who operates outside the scope ofemployment. Under this theory, athletics directors may also be held liable for failure to train coaches. ·

16. SAFE PLAcE -·several states bave adopted ll'lgislationthat requires higher levels of inspection and scrutiny in creating safe environments for spectator or other large group activities. School activity centers fall into this category. NOTE that individuals and groups who rent school facilities expect them to be safu and in good repair.

17. TRAINED PROFESSIONAL- An individual who bas developed special knowledge,skills and insights about a particular profession that are not shared widely by the generalpopulation. . For coaches and administrators, this definition asswnes ongoing research ofbest practices concerning the instnu:tion of players andpreventingforeseeable injury or ioss thro11gh the exercise of one or. more of the 14 legal dllties that follow.

18. VIOLENT RECKLESSNESS- Anemerging concept that alleges fiillure of a coach or athletics administrator to control the unthinking and violent actions of an athlete or fuilure to supervise athletes and spectators so as to prevent violent confrontations before,during aDd after a contest. . The allegmon may also cite the coach ifthere is any indication of encouragement to players.to pmposely harm, punish or create painfor an opponent.

Elements of NegligenceTo prove that a ooach or athletics adm inistrator was negligent, plaintiff must prove that fourelements were met. 'fh<ise are: ..

POTENTIAL DEFENSES AGAINST ASSERTIONS OF NEGLIGENCE

Statutory Immunity A state enacts legislation that prevents an injured party from bringing suit against a public institution including schools or school districts. This is an increasingly rare phenomenon in the United States.·Assumption Of Risk The athlete accepted risk inherent in a sport, was fully warned orapprised of risks that are not immediately apparent and was injured as a result of an unforeseeable event (e.g. a basketball player comes down with a rebound, steps on another player's foot as she lands and rolls her ankle causing an unforeseeable (accidental) injury.)Contributory/Comparative Negligence The athlete is properly instructed in safety techniques and warned of one or more hazardous activities inherent in a sport. Despite the warning, the athlete unpredictably engages in a previously identified hazardous activity that leads to his/her injury or loss.No Supervisory Responsibility The athlete is not under general or direct supervision when·she/he suffers an injury or loss (e.g. after practice has ended, the athlete is strock by a

· •· motorist while crossing a street on his way home).Unforeseeable Event Injury It is well known that injuries occur in sports practices and competitions. To predict that a particular injury would occur at a particular time and thus be foreseeable is not a sustainable defense. See basketball example in Negligence Defense

· Number 2 above.Lack Of Causation The cause of injury or loss was connected to a circumstance other than the performance of a coach or athletics administrator. See motorist example in Negligence Defense Number 4 above.

Fourteen Duties Related to Negligence Litigation lnl::rnlobligations or duties have been identified as absolute requirements for coaches and illietics programs administrators. These standards have the weight of 11l()ral obligation for DIII'Jr:lu!S and athletics administrators and have evolved as a result of various case law!ilu='eedJ'ngsandlega]judgmenJs against individuals and school districts.

of these duties can be further definedandelaborated by more precise examples andapplications or

·.uSidndards of Conduct or Standards of Care" whichwill be elaboratedina subsequent section.

· il. DUTY TO PLAN- This is a comprehensive requirement that transcends all other duties.

. JDherent in this duty is the need to continually conduct focused analyses of potential hazards and todevelop responsive stmtegies that prevent or reduce the potential for injury and loss in the followingareas: coaching competence; medical screening; appropriate activities that Consider age, maturityand environmental conditions;:fucility and equipment evaluation and improvement; injury response;warnings to athletes and their families; insurance of athletes; child advocacy in cases of alcohol andother drug abuse (AODA) or family neglect or abuse. Plans and policies should be rigorously implemented unless dangerous conditions prevent implementation. Plans should become policy docwnents and updated regularly by administrators, coaches and experts in specific areas (e.g. equipment, emergency response, etc.).Negligence can be alleged when an itifury loss results from no planning, inadequate planning or when plans are developed but ignored

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN SCHOOLS & ATHLETICS

PROGRAMSfu recent years, there has been an explosion of litigation related to sexual harassment in·and athletics programs. fu its 1998 and 1999 terms, the U.S. Supreme Court made rulings in

harassment cases, three of which dealt with workplace sexual harassment and two ofSJpeC:Ific:ally focused on sexual harassment in schools. The full text of the two school cases,

Monroe County Board of Education and Gebser v. Lago Vista lSD are included in this

Sexual harassment in schools and athletics programs usually occurs in one of three ways. The is workplace sexual harassment- harassment of a school employee or athletics personnel by

school employee or athletics personnel. The second is sexual harassment of a student by aemployee or athletics personnel. The third is sexual harassment of a student by another- "peer" sexual harassment. All three forms of sexual harassment involve similar legal issues

•preventing sexual harassment in schools and athletics starts with a thorough understanding of common legal issues.

'IHE LEGAL DEFINITION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT

The threshold challenge for any organization attempting to desigu effective policies and ire<lunlSto prevent and correct sexual harassment is to define, as clearly as possible, the behaviors

will fall into the category of prohibited, discriminatory conduct. Title VII, Title IX, and statediscrimination statutes are uniforruly vague in defining sexual harassment Federal and state

have attempted to provide guidance through legislative interpretation, but these judicialtiniltiOJas" of sexual harassment which are derived from court cases tend to be highly situation

and they provide only a fragmented overview of what constitutes illegal gender trirninati"<m and sexUal harassment.

Probably the best starting point for understanding what types of behavior constitute ilplace sexual harassment is the EEOC's legal definition of sexual harassment as stated in its licartimiEri:OCGuidelines For Discrimination On The Basis Of Sa [29 C.F.R § 1604.II(a)]:

Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physicalconduct of a seX!Jal nature constitute sexual harassment when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions qffecting such individual; or {3} such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably inteiferingwith an individual's work peiformance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Courts have consistently utilized the EEOC's legal definition of sexual harassment as an framework for resolving sexual harassment cases. Specifically, courts have interpreted this

Page 147: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

definition as setting forth thiee "hurdles" which a complainant must "clear'' in order to establish that legally prohibited sexual harassment has occurred (in contrast to mere violations of the aforementioned general code of civility, conduct which; although undesirable, does not constitute illegal or actionable discrimination). The three elements of legally prohibited sexual harassment which have been derived by courts from the EEOC definition are unwelcomeness, words or actions of a sexuafnature, and damages. Damages refers to the conditions of harm suffered by a victim of sexual harassment and this element of a sexual harassment claim may be established by the presence of anyone of the three adverse consequences for the victim as they are set forth in the definition. And although the relevance of the distinction between quid pro quo sexual harassment and hostile wom environment sexual harassment has been explicitly diminished as it applies to determining employer liability for supervisor harassment of employees (by the Supreme Court's rulings in two of its 1998 workplace sexual harassment decisions, Burlington Industries and City of Boca Raton), the quid pro quo and hostile wom environment dichotomy is still relevant to the threshold issue whether the conduct in question fits within the definition of sexual harassment Specifically, the quid pro quoand hostile environment analysis is useful in determining whether any of the three conditions of harm in the EEOC definition have occurred (discussed below).

ELEMENT #1:UNWELCOMENESS

The first element which the complainant must establish in a sexual harassment case is thatthe alleged sexual conduct was "unwelcome." Title Vll and most state sexual harassment laws do not prohibit behavior which is consented to by an individual. Therefore, a consensual sexual relationship does not constitute sexual harassment Physical, verbal, or visual conduct of a sexual nature that is consented to or invited by an individual does not constitute sexual harassment. ·

However, and this is a critically important point, the perception of "welcomeneSs" by an alleged harasser may be dramatically different than from the standpoint of an alleged victim.In many EEOC cases and in many federal/state court cases, the alleged harasser asserts the argument that the alleged victim never stated any objection to the behavior in question and that, therefore, the behavior could not have been unwelcome. Yet, in most of the cases, if the alleged harasser was in a superior position of power within 1he organization,both the EEOC and the courts acknowledge the risks inherent in and difficulty for a complainant in communicating unwelcomeness to the harasser: If the conduct in question, under all the circumstances, was sufficiently offensive, unwelcomeness is usually presumed even if the complainant never clearly communicated this to 1he harasser. · ·

The issue of power differential between parties is a key criteria often used to determine whether the behavior in question was welcome. The greater the positional power of one party over the other, the more likely the courts are to conclude that the subordinate had no meaningful choice with regard to challenging the behavior as it was occurring. In such situations, even where thecomplainant never expressly communicated unwelcomeness, it is often presumed Examples of .

- situations where power differential is the key to the welcomeness determination range from repeated, .· non-work-related, social invitations by a supervisor to an employee all the way up to supervisor requests for sexual acts from an employee.

One of the most problematic issues in evaluating unwelcomeness is the impact of a voluntary .·relationship between two parties in the past on a claim that unw lcome viorpresent Both the EEOC and the courts have concluded that ten . by one of the two parties involved, future ccnduct by e Qt!l<:r imjt fa!!intothe category of· · · ·

··$1wellcoJmeJ ess.longer welcome. Therefu..--e, continuing requests for activities ranging from anything as simple as

oo.:;; da teIX relationship between the parties, may now be unwelcome and give rise to a sexualIJarass:meJat complaint.

A simple, preventative measure whim can be encouraged by an employer as part of sexual ilan!SSineilt education and training for employees is to encourage employees to clearly communicate1!11vvel<:on1eness to the objectionable conduct of other parties. Common sense and context can let :rmine

vAt·h l communication of unwelcomeness may suffice. In other situations, a written format forlle.cornm.uni.cation of unwelcomeness may be preferable both to emphasize the seriousness of the:::::to the other party and to "paper the trail" that unwelcomeness was, in fact,

Equally important to include in sexual harassment education and training for company:ci:si th =at

Ill of unwelcomeness against !he individual who communicated that message.tetalia1iion, by itself has been determined to be a form of sexual harassment both by EEOC policy

an extensive series of federal and state court cases in which, although the damages resulting the original sexually harassing behavior were limited, the damages resulting from subsequent

lllJiaticm against a complainant were substantial

. ELEMENT #2: WORDS/ACTIONS OF A SEXUAL NATURE

The second element which the complainant must establish in a sexual harassment case is that!UJtdm;t in question included words or actions of a sexual nature. Disparate treatment

&ased·on clearly falls into this category. When a female employee is being treated differently than a situated male employee, discrimination is occurring even if the

offending behavior is notsexual in nature. Activities such as basing promotions on sexual stereotypes, excluding

but not men wi$, children from employment, and requiring only female employees to wear clothing on the job are exan1ples of disparate treatment which have been held by the courts to

- category. Employers must exercise extreme caution in developing evaluative criteria for

.-.-r.,,a,.,u decision making (hiring, promotion, assignment, etc.) and must avoid eitheror implicitly making distinctions based solely on gender.

A complainant may also satisfY this second element by demonstrating that the offending involved explicitly sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other physical, verbal, conduct of a sexual nature. The fOllowing is a non-exhaustive list of some of the types of which courts have determined as constituting "words or actions of a sexual nature":

Sexual assault or sexual battery as defined by the applicable federal, state, and local criminal statutes.Stalking behavior or criminal harassment behavior as defined by the applicable federal, state, and local criminal statutes.

• Explicit demands for sex in exchange for favorable treatment with regard to any aspect of the employment relationship, including hiring, evaluation, promotion, retention, salary, or benefits.

• Explicit demands for sex accompanied by the threat of unfavorable treatment with regard to any aspect of the employment relationship, including hiring, evaluation, promotion. retention, salary, or benefits.

• Unwelcome physical contact or touching of a sexual nature, including brushing against the body, pinching, blocking of normal physical movement, or unreasonably close physical proximity of a sexual nature.

• Unwelcome and persistent verbal conduct of a sexual nature, including sexual jokes, sexual epithets, sexual propositions, sexual gestures, sexual slurs or insults, or verbal abuse of a sexual nature.

• Unwelcome and persistent verbal comments of a sexual nature about an individual's appearance, sexuality, sexual attitudes, sexual prowess, or sexual deficiencies.

• Unwelcome and persistent visual harassment of a sexual nature, including continual leering or stating, and repeated attempts to take photographs.

• Unwelcome and persistent inquiries into one's sexual experiences, sexual history, and sexual activities.

• Unwelcome and ongoing gossip regarding someone's sex life, sexual orientation, or sexual interests.

• Display in the workplace of sexual pictures, posters, photographs, cartoons, or drawings.• Unwelcome or unwanted conduct or comments consistently targeted at or involving only

one gender, even ifthe conduct is not overtly sexual. ,

ELEMENT #3: DAMAGES [HARM TO THE VICTIM]

The EEOC definition of sexual harassment establishes a three-prong test for evaluating whether the alleged victim of sexual harassment has suffered harm. A complainant must prove only one of the three alternative conditions in order to satisfY the damages component of a sexual harassment case. Again, any one of the three following conditions of harm will get the complainant over this third evidentiary "hurdle." Unwelcome words or conduct of a sexual nature will constitute sexual harassment when: ·

(J) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment;

OF

(2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions qffecting such individual;

OF

(3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably inteifering with an individual's ·work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or o.ffonsive working environment.

Page 150: Web view• Demonstrates honesty in word and deed • Accepts responsibility for actions • Accepts blame and shares credit ... 4- Password: 1234. 5 - Request a Field Trip

The first two above-defined conditions of harm involve the situation where the complainant an adverse, tangible workplace detriment as a result of the offending behavior. The first

submission to the behavior being made a term or condition of the individual'siljlnertt, covers those situations where someone with authority is offering a job to an applicant,

of employment to an employee, in exchange for sexual favors. The second condition,to or rejection of the conduct being used as the basis for employment decisions, covers

sinJations where someone with anthority uses any aspect ofldoVJne11t relationship (promotion, demotion, assignment of work or projects, transfer, salary,

as leverage to request sexual favors. Under either of these closely related scenarios,are being forced to comply, because of their sex, with conditions that other company

do not face.

Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment

of these first two conditions of harm constitute the type of sexual harassment typically as quid pro quo. Although this terminology was not expressly incorporated in the Title

jslatio11, the EEOC created this "label" to refer to those situations where someone with using employment benefits or detriments as leverage in an attempt to coerce sexualthe victinl. After the phrase quid pro quo began to be used by the EEOC Inthe mid

:;;.··-" soon adopted by courts to describe sexual harassment scenarios where the threeof the EEOC definition were established by showing (1) unwelcomeness; (2) words or acts nature; and (3) dantages evidenced by either of the first two conditions of harm (requests favors as the basis of an employment detriment suffered by the victinl).

Until the enunciation of new legal standards in the 1998 Supreme Court decisions in dir.rgk•n Industries and City OfBoca Raton, the quid pro quo determination was a critically porltant one, because it invoked a stricter standard of liability for an employer based on the quid

harassment by a supervisor of an employee.If the elements of a supervisor-employee quidclaim were proven, then the employer was subject to "strict liability" for the misconduct of

eSIIJ)elrvi1>0r. Strict liability, in effect, means that the employer is automatically liable and that the onlr•v"'r has no defenses available to prevent liability. Therefore, in quid pro quo cases, regardless

quality of a company's sexual harassment policies and procedures, renegade misconduct by asupervisor could result in automatic and indefensible liability for the employer.

The rule of law set forth by the Supreme Court in the Burlington Industries and City Of:aHawn cases, however, established a new legal standard for employer liability which operates

13pemlently of quid pro quo analysis. The issue no longer deals with the issue of whether the sex-for-employment consequences bargain was actually proposed by the supervisor and

the illegal offer was the basis of the detriment suffered by the employee (an analysis that is contract-law-like; who offered what and based on what consideration).

The new legal standard simply states that if an employee has suffered an adverse, tangible consequence then the employer is strictly liable and no defenses are available. However, if the

IIJ>l oyclesuccessfully assert the affirmative defense that the employer exercised reasonable care to

and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior and the employee unreasonably failed advantage of the preventative or corrective opportunities provided by the employer or to

harm otherwise. There is no employer liability issue regarding whether the supervisor offered
