[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the school needs to do now and going forward is to hire an external investigator to investigate and identify other teachers who groom students, those who make inappropriate comments, and those who behave inappropriately in front of the students.

The school has a passive attitude of waiting to see if there are reports as opposed to preventing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. The school should take it more seriously since these students are minors.

This is a fabulous idea. I would happily spearhead this effort at Whitman. Any advice on how to go about it? [/quote]

What if a parent from PTA (not sports bc conflict) sent an anonymous survey for kids through the year to remind them of what is inappropriate and to tell if something is going on that they want to tell an adult about?
I'm not sure how actionable it would be and would probably get some troll responses but it's the start of a rough idea.
I'm sure some of the teammates knew but didn't know what to do

Kids need to have clear guidelines on who to speak with. There need to be several options--for example, if a student does not feel comfortable disclosing to the designated admin or teacher, there should be at least one other staff member who is trained to receive this information and to take the appropriate action. And the administration needs to respond and/or report it to the authorities if needed. [/quote]
